Chawanmushi

Chawanmushi can be translated "steamed in a tea bowl." It's a Japanese egg custard that's not sweet but instead has an umami flavor. Its ingredients read like a list of Japanese favorites: soy sauce, dashi, mirin and shiitake mushrooms. There's usually a single ginkgo seed near the bottom.
