A Tamagoyaki or dashimaki is a type of a Japanese omelette. It is often served as a Japanese breakfast dish. Some are sweet and salty, but there are many different types. They are usually cooked in a rectangular omelette pan.

It is said that tamago is ironically the ultimate test of the sushi bar. It is usually the cheapest item on the menu, and yet it takes lengthy amount of time and preparation to make, which means that often in the U.S. pre-made versions of the food are often found. To serve a good tamago, a sushi chef must spend a large amount of preparation time, with little economic reward.
