I'm trying to identify what kind of sushi is featured at the bottom right of this picture of a display of what seems to be mainly nigiri sushi. The yellow, spongy looking one. Can anyone name what kind of fish / meat / other that is?

That item in the bottom right is Tamago nigiri, a slice of omelette on top of seasoned rice.

5@Jolenealaska - There's a lot of technique in that little omelette. It's prepared with ground mountain yam in place of water or milk for one, and cooked in a particular way that involves ultrathin layers of egg rolled into a tamagoyaki, requiring a special makiyakinabe pan. Like the french crepe, tamagoyaki can be either pedestrian or the height of sophistication, and it's down to technique. Nov 20, 2013 at 13:35

@RISwampYankee Well, maybe I'll try it someday, after I'd had my fill of eel and SMT. YUM!– Jolenealaska ♦Nov 20, 2013 at 14:25

1@Didgeridrew EEEW! We have about a gazillion sushi bars in Anchorage, I'll never visit them all. That might be a good question to ask over the phone to separate the wheat from the chaff, "Do you make your own Tamagoyaki?"– Jolenealaska ♦Nov 22, 2013 at 4:48
