Clearly, the tradional Japanese way of making Tamagoyaki is to use Dashi Soup Stock. However, a quick web search seems to indicate that some people are satisfied with making Tamagoyaki with either chicken stock (plateonline.com) or even skipping it altogether using mirin and soy sauce. So, it seems there is a choice. You can stand on tradition or create your own interpretation of a standard Japanese dish.
