About Ajitama

Ajitama, or marinated ramen egg, is a popular condiment in Japanese cuisine, often accompanying bowls of ramen or served as a standalone snack. Typically, ajitama is made from soft-boiled eggs that are marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, mirin, and sometimes sake, resulting in a flavorful, savory taste and custard-like texture. These eggs are rich in protein and essential vitamins such as B12, selenium, and choline, which support energy production, metabolism, and brain health. While ajitama can be a nutritious addition to meals, its sodium content due to the marinade may be high, making portion control important for those monitoring salt intake. Its balanced mix of flavors and nutrients adds depth to dishes while providing key health benefits when enjoyed in moderation.
