– Japanese Steamed Egg Custard with Dashi and Savory Fillings)

Chawanmushi, meaning "steamed in a teacup," is a delicate Japanese savory egg custard made by whisking eggs with dashi, soy sauce, and mirin, then steaming the mixture in a small cup with fillings like shiitake mushrooms, kamaboko (fish cake), ginkgo nuts, and shrimp or chicken. Unlike Western custards, it’s not sweet, but instead light, silky, and umami-rich. Served warm as part of kaiseki cuisine, bento sets, or holiday meals, Chawanmushi is a refined dish enjoyed across Japan, often garnished with mitsuba (wild parsley).
