About this dish
Tamago kake gohan, abbreviated TKG, is a popular Japanese breakfast food consisting of cooked Japanese rice topped or mixed with raw egg and soy sauce. It is sometimes referred to simply as tamago gohan (egg rice), tamago kake meshi (egg on rice/food), tamago bukkake gohan (egg splashed onto rice), or other variations. The dish has sometimes been referred to as the "soul food of the Japanese", characterized by Japan's exceptionally high standards of egg hygiene which minimize the risk of Salmonella poisoning from raw eggs. This allows the cultural practice of consuming raw eggs, combined with the staple food of rice, to flourish.
