I’ve become obsessed with Japanese Tamagoyaki omelettes

As most of yall know, I plan on visiting Japan in a year or so, and started watching Japanese cuisine videos.
I bought a Tamagoyaki omelette pan. Only had it for three days now, gotten pretty good at it.
Three egg omelette (soy, sugar, mirin, salt, cream) with cheese, black sesame seed, and hot sauce

Not too sweet, just a 1/4 teaspoon sugar for three eggs. Recipe says add as much or as little as you like. I went on the lighter side.

They are indeed awesome but I don’t have the patience to do it myself

It doesn’t take anymore time than making a regular omelette. It’s just made in steps (layers), so each layer cooks pretty quick.

First I’ve ever heard of that

Just search “Tamagoyaki” on YouTube, there’s hundreds of videos, variations, recipes.
Next thing I wanna learn is making an omurice omelette, a much harder omelette.

I've visited Japan twice.
It is incredible. You will love it and never want to leave.
Happy to give recommendations if I can!

Now that I have perfected the basic Tamagoyaki omelette, now I can start making the variations and different recipes.

They go real well in a Donburi/ Chirashi application.
We paired it with unagi in oshizushi.

The school cafeteria where I taught did a yakisoba omelette (omusoba)... so good

Is tomago at sushi restaurants an in-house thing, or do they buy it? It’s so similar. I get most times I order nigiri. I like inari too.

Good job. If you’d like to test your Japanese egg cooking skills try making omurice. Every video about this makes it look easy but getting the egg just right is not. My wife (Japanese, no pics) has pretty good cooking skills but struggles with the egg part of the dish, as do many of her friends. As they say, it’s an art. As for the flavor I’ll never understand the Japanese obsession with ketchup. Although not overpowering and can be omitted, doing so is blasphemy to the Japanese. My MIL uses it to make spaghetti rendering it inedible.

I hate the internet and modern-day consumerism. Because now I'm a baw in South LA looking at youtubes on how to make this and have an online shopping cart with one of these damn pans.
What recipe do you use?

I am actually planning on trying to make an omurice tonight. Put it over jambalaya (just for effect). Once I perfect the omelette, I’ll work on the rice and sauce.

Simple salt, soy, sugar, mirin, sometimes cream.

Tell us more, what did you do?
I really want to do an Asia trip, not sure what country

I have one of those rectangular omelet pans. I have not made a Japanese style omelet, but they are great for making an egg for an American-style egg sandwich.
