Curator's Notes 

Tamagoyaki, meaning, “grilled egg”, is a multilayered Japanese style omelet. Often, the eggs are used for nigiri, sushi rolls, or breakfast dishes. We love these Ambai Tamagoyaki pans for their dimensions. The scaled down size is often all you need for a one or two person household, especially when storage space is scarce. Of course, the pans aren’t limited to frying up eggs – they are fantastic for roasting spices and other smaller tasks.
