About Chawan mushi:
Chawanmushi (茶碗蒸し,Chawan mushi, literally "tea cup steam" or "steamed in a tea bowl") is a Japanese egg custard that uses the seeds of ginkgo. Unlike many other custards, it is usually eaten as an appetizer.

The custard consists of an egg mixture flavored with soy sauce, dashi, and mirin, with numerous ingredients such as shiitake mushrooms, kamaboko, yuri-ne (lily root) and boiled shrimp placed into a tea-cup-like container like those ones we are selling here.

Chawanmushi can be eaten either hot and cool in chawanmushi dishes with lids. Chawan mushi is commonly eaten with a spoon, which is unusual for a traditional Japanese dish.
