JAPAN IN
ONE MINUTE 
~ Do you know what TKG stands for in Japanese? ~
Oh no! There’s nothing for breakfast!
What should I do?
How about TKG?
TKG? What’s that? Is it food?
Sorry, sorry! TKG is short for “Tamago Kake Gohan“, which literally means “egg over rice” in Japanese.
“Tamago” means egg, “gohan” means rice, and “kake” means to pour or put something on top.
So, TKG is simply a raw egg cracked over hot steamed rice and usually with a splash of soy sauce.
Wait… raw egg?!
You eat it just like that?
Yes, in Japan it’s totally safe.
Eggs here go through strict hygiene and refrigeration processes,
so they’re fresh and safe to eat raw.
Raw egg on rice?
That sounds… scary and amazing at the same time!
It’s actually very common here, especially for breakfast.
It’s super easy to make, just crack an egg over hot rice, add soy sauce or salt, and mix!
It’s quick, cheap, and packed with protein and vitamins.
Interesting! In Sweden, eating raw egg isn’t really common, so this sounds wild to me.
But I like trying new things… Maybe I’ll give it a go!
As long as there’s rice, I’m in!
But… can I add tuna too?
Haha, sure! Some people add toppings like green onions, seaweed, or even natto.
Tuna sounds like a very Pecco style upgrade!
I love how simple it is.
And the idea of turning something basic into something comforting and tasty is really Japanese, isn’t it?
Okay, I’ve made up my mind!
Tomorrow’s breakfast isTKG with tuna!
