Chirashi with Tamagoyaki

Think of this as sushi without the rolling: seasoned rice, bright toppings and a savory dressing. Look for tuna with a clear, glassy red color and no rainbow sheen; a single even block is far easier to slice than trimmed pieces. Japanese cucumbers have tiny seeds and thin skin, so there is no need to peel or scoop them. Set everything out before you start so assembly flows without stopping.
