Step 1
Whisk eggs with sugar, soy sauce, mirin, and dashi until combined and slightly frothy.
Step 2
Heat 0.5 tbsp butter in a tamagoyaki pan or 8-inch skillet over medium until foaming.
Step 3
Pour one-third of the egg mixture in; tilt to spread thin. Cook until just set on top but still glossy, 60-90 seconds.
Step 4
Roll the cooked layer away from you into a log; push to one side. Add 0.5 tbsp butter to the empty side.
Step 5
Pour half the remaining egg mixture around the roll; tilt to spread. Cook until just set, 60 seconds.
Step 6
Roll everything together into a tighter log. Repeat with final third of egg and remaining butter. Remove to a plate.
Step 7
Let cool 2 minutes, then slice into thick rounds or serve whole. Eat warm.
