“Date-Maki” (Sweet Omelet)

This is a kind of omelet that is often eaten on new year’s day, as a part of the “osechi”. However, “date-maki” is sold at supermarkets all year-round. This is very nutritious but very sweet.

The rolling mat used in this dish is called “oni-sudare”, slightly different from an ordinary mat. Every thread is triangular to give dents on the omelet. You can use an ordinary rolling mat if you did not have “oni-sudare”.
