About this book
No country takes the egg more seriously.
Japan's Egg Culture is the complete guide to 200 egg dishes, farms and table traditions, every entry in one uniform format — the egg and its source, Making & Craft, Taste & the Table, and Meeting It & the Official Check. Tamagoyaki in its sweet Tokyo and savoury Kansai forms, chawanmushi steamed in the cup, oyakodon, omurice, the great regional omelettes and egg soups; brand eggs and the farms behind them; and the raw-egg culture of tamago kake gohan, described honestly through the hygiene and date-labelling systems that support it — never as a promise of safety, and never with health or beauty effects claimed.
Eggs are a declared allergen under Japanese labelling rules, and every entry closes by pointing you to the label and the official allergen information. This is a guide to culture, land and makers: the taste, texture, colour and aroma of Japan's egg table, prefecture by prefecture.
Written and created in Japan by Japanese author Aki Wakamatsu. Published by Takikawa TOKOTOKO Kids LLC, a Japanese publisher in Hokkaido, Japan. Authentic Japanese content, carefully made in Japan — not mass-produced.
