About Tamago nigiri

Tamago Nigiri is a traditional Japanese sushi dish that pairs a slice of sweet and savory tamago (Japanese rolled omelet) atop a small bed of vinegared sushi rice. It is secured with a thin strip of nori (seaweed) and offers a balance of flavor and texture, combining the delicate sweetness of the egg with the subtle tang of the rice. Tamago is made using eggs, soy sauce, sugar, mirin, and dashi, creating a fluffy yet tender omelet. This dish is typically lower in fat than other protein-based nigiri options and provides essential nutrients such as protein, vitamin B12, and iron from the egg. However, its sweetness comes from added sugar, making it slightly higher in carbs than other sushi. Tamago Nigiri is an ideal choice for those new to sushi, offering familiar flavors with a touch of Japanese culinary tradition.
