A seemingly simple meal, crack a raw egg on some rice, pour some soy sauce on top and you have TKG! But while it’s a simple dish, it’s extraordinarily tasty!
Many Japanese say that if they want to choose the last meal in their lives, it is TKG.
Seemingly simple three ingredients, but infinite possibilities! The method to make it is also very simple. Three steps: [cooking] rice, [beating] eggs, [pouring] soy sauce!

The rarely spoken about Japanese Soul-Food! What is TKG?

Japanese Cuisine is normally thought to be quite a high quality affair, with foods such as Wagyu Beef, Sushi, or other high class food.
But something that is not mentioned much is a food that many Japanese people can't live without and that they eat everyday, TKG or Tamago Kake Gohan. In English this translates to roughly Raw Egg over Rice. Normally using only 3 simple ingredients, eggs, rice, and soy sauce, it is a seemingly ordinary dish that tastes extraordinary!

Tamago Kake Gohan (たまごかけごはん) or TKG is often seen in a variety of Japanese anime, dramas and films! You can make it a conversation starter with a Japanese friend by just asking "Do you know TKG?". They'll be amazed with your knowledge of this rarely talked about dish!

One reason that it hasn't really been picked up in a lot of Western countries is because of the use of raw eggs. As many people know there is a taboo of eating raw eggs, with samonella being a major source of concern. But due to the way eggs are processed in Japan, samonella is rare, meaning that eating raw eggs is generally safe! You should definetely try this delicacy while here!

The Tamago Kake Gohan Research Institute?!?!

Japanese people love TKG far more than people know! With that, a group of Japanese workers have created the TKG Research Institute to study and find the ultimate TKG combination! While doing this, they hold gatherings, and try to help local farmers as well by promoting their goods! By carefully selecting the freshest tastiest eggs and rice and using special soy that was made for them, they aim to make a perfect TKG!

More than one way to make TKG!?!

There are only normally three main ingredients in TKG, but the way to mix these ingredients are nearly as numerous as the types of eggs, soy sauces and rice you can choose to eat! 
The TKG Research Institute created a handy little manual to describe some of these way to eat! They are giving these away as returns for their crowdfunding!

You can find this folder here on the crowdfunding site and we've also added a few below!
