Ajitsuke Baigai, a popular ingredient in Japanese cuisine, refers to small sea snails that are marinated and seasoned, often in a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, mirin, and sake.
These tiny snails are known for their chewy texture and rich, savory flavor that is enhanced by the sweet and salty marinade. Chefs commonly use Ajitsuke Baigai as an appetizer or a side dish in traditional Japanese meals, where they are appreciated for their distinctive taste and texture.
