seasonal peak

All year round

Eggs are highly nutritious and easy to digest, and one unique appeal of eggs in Japan is that they can be enjoyed raw. In Okinawa, you can enjoy fresh eggs with a rich flavor and sweetness. They are laid by hens raised on original feeds carefully selected by each farm in stress-free, free-range environments. A classic way to savor the true appeal of eggs in Japan is tamago-kake gohan, freshly steamed rice topped with a raw egg and a splash of soy sauce. Widely known as “TKG,” it has become a beloved national breakfast in Japan. Pork egg onigiri, a rice ball filled with a Japanese-style omelet and pork luncheon meat, is loved as Okinawan soul food. Eggs also play a key role in local dishes such as kūrijin, a soup with pork and vegetables bound together with egg, and fū tāshiya, stir-fried baked wheat gluten coated with egg. Chīrunkō, a confection of the Ryukyu Kingdom, is a steamed cake made with plenty of eggs that is known as a celebratory sweet.
