About the Shop

Hello, fellow travelers!
I’m Mikan 🍊, a writer for [Sarukuma].

Today I’d like to introduce you to
Tamago Kobo Sagara, a charming little egg shop located in
Kubota, Kikuyo Town, Kikuchi District, Kumamoto Prefecture.

Here, you’ll find truly premium eggs laid by hens fed a special diet of nine natural herbs blended with egoma (perilla) seed cake.

The signature product is the famous “Egoma Tamago” (Perilla Eggs).

The shop has parking for 3 cars right next to the building.

And right beside the parking area, you’ll find something fun:

A 24-hour egg vending machine!

This is perfect if you’re passing by or want to grab some eggs outside of the shop’s regular hours — only in Japan, right? ♪

The vending machine is stocked with eggs in a variety of sizes and quantities!

Even though there were some empty slots, customers kept dropping by to buy eggs while I was taking photos!

It’s a hidden gem — a beloved direct-sale egg shop that locals know and love ☺️

To be honest, I’m a regular here myself (haha).

Now, let’s take a peek inside the shop! Eggs lined up everywhere!

Eggs to the left, eggs to the right — eggs everywhere!
So many beautiful eggs on display.

And here’s my personal favorite section:

The “Busa-tama-chan” Corner (slightly imperfect eggs at bargain prices)

Busa-tama-chan 1.5 kg (400 yen)

Busa-tama-chan 3 kg (800 yen)

They might not look perfect (Grade B), but the taste is absolutely incredible!

You get a generous amount at a great price — I always swing by for these 💓

This time, I picked up the 1.5 kg Busa-tama-chan and enjoyed them right away with TKG (tamago kake gohan — raw egg over rice), Japan’s iconic comfort food, for lunch 😊

So delicious! Pure happiness in every bite (haha).

The staff also recommended the “Tamago Gohan Shoyu” (special soy sauce for egg over rice, 346 yen) — I really regret not picking that up too… (haha).

Recommended Menu

This time, I treated myself to the Sorairo Pudding (Sky-Blue Pudding, 250 yen) — a luxurious custard pudding made with the shop’s signature Egoma Tamago.

It’s perfect as a souvenir, a thoughtful gift for guests,

or just a little treat for yourself 🍮

The size is petite —
just right when you need a little snack!

The cute, slender shape is also super charming 💓💓

Pop the lid, and take that first spoonful.

Compared to typical pudding, it’s wonderfully light and refreshing! So easy to eat 💓💓

Even after a full meal, you could happily polish off several of these!

It’s exactly the kind of pudding I love!

And of course, there’s caramel hiding at the bottom 💓
The caramel has a gentle, mellow sweetness too —

it really lets the rich egg flavor shine while wrapping it in soft sweetness!

A truly relaxing, blissful moment ♪

They also offer egg gift sets, and starting in December, they’ll begin selling chicken meat too.

If you’re exploring Kumamoto, definitely add Tamago Kobo Sagara to your list — you won’t regret it!
