One pan, one roll
A tamagoyaki shop in the Tsukiji outer market. Just egg, dashi, and a copper pan — rolled by hand, one pan at a time from the morning.
A tamagoyaki shop in the Tsukiji outer market. Just egg, dashi, and a copper pan.

The pan goes on
the flame at four.
By the time the copper warms, the first roll is done. Only the day's share is set out. When it is gone, it is gone — until tomorrow.
