【history】
The roots of tamagoyaki are said to go back to the Edo period. At that time, eggs were still considered a luxury ingredient, but in the city of Edo, sushi restaurants and eateries began to serve items such as “thick omelets” and “dashimaki tamago,” gradually spreading as a “special side dish.”
At sushi restaurants, tamagoyaki was valued as a dish that demonstrated the skill of the chef, while in households, it came to be made as a “slightly fancy side dish” for celebrations or when entertaining guests.
From the Showa era onward, eggs became an everyday ingredient, and tamagoyaki firmly established itself as a “national side dish” that appeared in bento boxes, breakfasts, izakaya menus, and many other settings.
玉子焼きのルーツは江戸時代に遡ると言われています。当時、卵はまだ高級食材とされていましたが、江戸の町では寿司屋や料亭で「厚焼き玉子」や「だし巻き玉子」といったメニューが提供されるようになり、「特別なおかず」として徐々に広まっていきました。
寿司屋では、職人の技が光る料理として、また家庭では、お祝いやもてなしの際に「ちょっと豪華なおかず」として作られるようになりました。
昭和時代以降、卵は日常の食材となり、弁当や朝食、居酒屋のメニューなど、様々な場面で登場する「国民的おかず」としての地位を確固たるものにしました。
