Tamagoyaki with hijiki, karaage, kabocha, and cherries.

Tamagoyaki is a Japanese rolled omelet. Egg is poured into a pan in thin layers, and each layer is rolled up before the next goes in. This one has hijiki seaweed folded into the egg, so every slice shows dark streaks.

Karaage is Japanese fried chicken, marinated and coated in starch before frying. Beside them are kabocha, the Japanese pumpkin, and a bowl of mixed rice cooked with burdock and carrot.
