Looking at your pictures and reading your post reminded me of Banana Yoshimoto’s words about moments of happiness.
She compares happiness to eggs in a bicycle basket: handle them gently, let them jostle on the way home. If a few crack, just smile — “Ah, some broke. ま、いっか。That’s okay. I’ll buy more.”
Enjoy the rest without worry.
The key is to treat happiness softly — without force, without overthinking.
I love Banana Yoshimoto’s writing — and eggs, too! I’ll definitely try this restaurant. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your comment! I’ve always known about Banana Yoshimoto, but I’ve never actually read her work — your comment just made me want to! I like that way of thinking, gentle and lighthearted.
What a find! I'm not so fond of raw egg, but love the attention to detail that has gone into creating this restaurant experience. I look forward to visiting with my Tamago Kake-loving friends.
Hello. No it is not. I have a neighbor that has chickens so I can get very fresh eggs. I would never eat TKG if I had to use eggs from the US supermarkets; I don't believe our eggs reach the markets fast enough.
Learned how to eat it over 30 years ago as an English teacher in Nagoya!

Thank you for your comment! Is Tamago Kake Gohan popular in the US as well?

Thank you for letting me know about that! Yes, I never tried raw eggs when I lived in Hungary either. Now that you live in Nagoya, do you like TKG?
