Homonym: tamago (Egg)
Tamago is a Japanese word that means "egg." In Japanese cuisine, it often refers to a specific type of egg dish, particularly tamago sushi, which features a sweet, layered omelet served on rice. This dish is made by cooking eggs in a rectangular pan, folding them multiple times to create a fluffy texture.
Another popular form of tamago is tamagoyaki, a rolled omelet that is commonly served as a side dish or breakfast item. It is seasoned with ingredients like soy sauce and sugar, giving it a unique flavor. Tamagoyaki is often sliced into bite-sized pieces and enjoyed with rice or as part of a bento box.
