Answer 5

Yes.

Their noodles (ramen, udon) contain eggs.

Several dishes contain eggs:

* Donburi - basically "bowl of rice with stuff on it".  Usually a mixture of onions, some sort of meat, then simmered in a scrambled egg mixture that has some soy sauce and mirin in it.

* Sushi - "Tamago nigiri" is a type of sushi made from a sweetened egg omlette, cut into planks and laid on top of a pad of sushi rice that is then secured with a ribbon of seaweed.  This same omlette is used in other types of sushi as well, like Futomaki, or is sliced very thinly to form something resembling noodles and used for garnish.

* Fried rice can have egg drizzled into it while being fried, just like its Chinese counterpart.

* "Omu Raisu" - literally "omlette rice", is tomato flavored stir fried rice that's been wrapped in a large, thin omlette.

* Okonomiyaki - a sort of cross between a savory pancake and pizza.  The basic okonomiyaki is made with flour, eggs, milk, and cabbage.  From there, you can add toppings like meat (thinly sliced beef or pork), fried noodles, a fried egg or whatever you happen to have in the fridge.  Like pizza, each city claims to have its own special version of okonomiyaki.  

* Takoyaki - small pieces of octopus that are dipped in an egg-based batter and baked before being drizzled with teriyaki sauce, mayo and dried seaweed.  A popular carnival and street food.

* Shabbu-Shabbu - Platters of very thinly sliced raw meat (usually beef) and vegetables are dipped into rapidly boiling water, before being dunked into raw egg, and optionally, another dipping sauce.  "Shabbu--Shabbu" is the sound the meat makes while you shake it around in the water to cook it.  You only leave it in for a few seconds before dunking the food into the egg, dipping sauce and then popping it into your mouth.  Sukiyaki is pretty identical, but uses very  high quality beef (very expensive), and adds some soy sauce and sugar to the water.  Otherwise it's eaten the same way.
