Tokyo's rolled-egg omelette: layers of dashi-sweetened egg cooked in a square copper pan, rolled into a fat log, sliced into thick golden bricks.
Tamagoyaki has been part of Edo cuisine since the 17th century, with the rectangular copper makiyakinabe pan becoming standard by the late Edo period. The Tokyo style is distinct from the Osaka version (dashimaki tamago): noticeably sweeter, with sugar and mirin balancing the dashi. The Tsukiji Outer Market has eight century-old tamago specialists, the most famous being Marutake, where the sushi chefs of Tokyo's high-end counters source the final-course atsuyaki tamago. The sushi-counter version is denser and squarer; the kissaten breakfast version is fluffier with more dashi.
