Ajitama

Ajitama is a Japanese-style soy‑marinated soft-boiled egg commonly served as a ramen topping; it’s prized for its silky, slightly runny yolk and savory marinade. It’s a concentrated source of high-quality protein, providing about 12.5g of protein per 100g, along with nutrients like choline and selenium found in eggs. Because the eggs are marinated in soy-based seasonings, they can contribute extra sodium to a meal, so they’re best enjoyed alongside lower‑salt components.
