What?

I am confused by this sentence in particular "It is said that tamago is ironically the ultimate test of the sushi chef. It is usually the cheapest item on the menu, and yet it takes lengthy amount of time and preparation to make, which means that in the U.S., pre-made versions of the food are often found."

By who's standards is tamago the ultimate test of a sushi chef? (And I'm assuming the author meant tamagoyaki since the article is about tamagoyaki, not tamago)

Tamagoyaki is a very very basic dish and is made by tens of thousands of housewives daily all over Japan. I personally learned to make it just by watching a cook one time in the restaurant I worked at in northern Japan - and I am not even a chef.

Suggested rename[edit]

To tamago, the more common term in English. Anyone oppose this?--Babank (talk) 00:59, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I oppose for two reasons:

- It is the "more common term" in which country? At least in Brazil (non-english speaking country, but anyway) it is aways refered as tamagoyaki.

- Tamago means just "egg" in japanese. I already wanted to rename all "tamago" in the article to tamagoyaki, as for example: "There are several types of tamago" reads to me as "There are several types of eggs"... not "several types of japanese omelettes". Anyone oppose MY renaming? Caroliano (talk) 19:26, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dashimaki[edit]

Dashimaki is not the same as tamagoyaki. Dashimaki is made with egg and fish stock, while tamagoyaki is a sweet egg omelette,using rice wine vinegar, sugar and soy sauce. This article needs a lot of TLC. Mrschwen (talk) 00:23, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, dashimaki tamago is not tamagoyaki, though one could argue they're different versions of the same thing. I'm going to change this because it threw me off when I read it and it's misleading. Erynamrod (talk) 11:25, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
