Based on advice from another thread, I ordered tamago at a new sushi place.
I got what’s pictured. I’m a little confused… Isn’t this supposed to be rolled? It’s just a block of egg afaict.
I’m new to sushi and not really clear on what some of these dishes are supposed to be.

Yes
Tamago and Akami looks fine the big question is how did it taste????
Looks more than alright!
Tamago is egg in Japanese in case you don’t know.
They’re just serving the premade frozen stuff. It’s pretty ubiquitous. Only high end sushi restaurants take the time to make their own tamago.
Sometimes a lack of rolling indicates baked, but that’s not the case here.
Yeah that’s probably the frozen stuff. I know a lot of chefs that just buy that because it’s just easier and nobody seems to care if they take the time to make it themselves. Basically not worth the effort for them
Yes it’s cooked in a square deep pan that creates a block of a mixture of egg soy sauce and other stuff
As others have said, you’re right. This is the premade/frozen one. A lot of places do this since tamago becomes a pain in the ass to do normally if you’re selling a high volume. If you’re new to sushi I wouldn’t judge tamago based on this piece alone, done right its in a whole different ballpark and one of my favorites.
How is eveeyone still indulging the spicy tuna troll
The troll is back
Looks right to me.
Looks like eggs
Rolled? For someone so new to sushi you sure seem to know exactly how everything should be prepared. How was their spicy tuna?
A Google image search would have saved you a lot of time
Everyone, don’t even bother commenting telling him its right the way it is
This guy is just a massive troll and will argue for hours on end about what he thinks tamago should be and won’t accept anyone’s answers
He did this for spicy tuna rolls, now he’s doing it for tamago
Save yourself your time and sanity and just ignore the post and move on
yeah, so that looks totally normal for most places
It’s frozen not fresh
Yes , it is at the right side of the photo.
