Sushi Amateur: “I really think I’m getting full at this point. I don’t think I can even do Unagi for dessert…it’s way too sweet.”
Sushi Pro: “Well, we could do something else sweet-ish… maybe tamago? I’ve never been a huge fan of it, though. Or just get another order of hirame with the ponzu sauce.”
SA: “Tamago—that’s the little omelette thing, right? You know I’m not a fan of eggs, either. No thanks. Domo.”
SP: “Well, it’s a sweet omelette. It’s eaten for breakfast a lot of the time in Japan.”
SA: “What’s it made with, sugar?”
SP: “……”

Well, we’ve got confirmation that, in fact, tamago is eaten for breakfast. And that sweet versions exist. No further details. Then again, what do I expect from a stub?
A simple Google search reveals that ingredients in tamago include eggs, soy sauce, sugar, and mirin. (Here’s a recipe.) Wait, mirin? The Wiki said some versions include sake (booze not salmon) …maybe we should have reconsidered.
Then again, that hirame was delicious.
