      I knowwww, but with non-english food names I’ve learned it’s clearest just to include a clarification for people not familiar with the food.

        You’re fine. Just a kind of tongue-in-cheek way to point out what the name of the dish means for anyone passing by and curious.

      Is Tamago egg? As in Tamagotchi being an egg based friend.

      Yaki is grilled, like Teriyaki?

        Yep! Tamago is egg. Yaki is from the verb yaku which means grill in this context. Teri I didn’t know, but it is the kanji from verbs that have to do with shining so probably refers to the glaze being shiny.
