Japanese comfort food that is really good. It is a steamed egg custard made by pouring seasoned and beaten eggs into a cup already filled with different meats and vegetables, and then steaming the cups in a steamer until solid like a pudding. The meats and vegetables can include (shrimp, chicken, mushrooms, carrots, gingko nuts, and kamaboko fish cakes, among other things. The name is a combination of chawan (teacup) and mushi (steamed). But unlike other custards around the globe, it is not a dessert and is eaten as a main meal. It is priced rather reasonably to be affordable for the working man. It is great to warm you up during the winter months.For the summer months, there is a chilled version called “hiyashi” and is served in a chilled glass.
