Tamagozake

(卵酒, 玉子酒, Egg Sake)

The Japanese mixed drink known as Tamagozake is made with a combination of heated sake, raw egg yolks, and sugar. The name of this sweet and creamy cocktail can be translated as Egg Sake. In order to prepare the drink, raw egg yolks are whisked with sugar, then added to hot sake.


In Japan, Tamagozake is traditionally used as a remedy for the common cold, and although there is no medical proof of its efficiency, at least it keeps the consumers warm at night.
