Japanese rolled sweet omelette

Tamagoyaki is a rolled Japanese omelette built up layer by layer in a rectangular pan. It belongs equally to breakfast, bento and sushi.

Seasoned with dashi, mirin and a little sugar, it turns tender, juicy and lightly sweet; the fine layering takes some practice and patience.
