Short for 出汁巻(だしま)(たまご). A staple of Japanese home cooking and bento boxes. Distinguished from 卵焼(たまごや)き by the addition of 出汁(だし) (soup stock), which makes it softer and more moist. Particularly associated with Kansai-style cooking, where a lighter, more savory version is preferred over the sweeter Kanto-style 卵焼(たまごや)き.
