Tamagozake (卵酒 or 玉子酒) is a Japanese drink consisting of heated sake, sugar, and a raw egg. It translates as "egg sake", being made of the kanji 卵 tamago (egg) and 酒 sake. In Japan, tamagozake is consumed as a folk remedy for colds. The practice originated due to the high nutritional value of eggs at a time when eggs were costly.
