How to call mirukui

Milkui is also known as “milgai”. Or sometimes called honmilgai.” Substitute shellfish for milk oysters include the white snail and the American snail, but because sushi is rare and valuable, some sushi restaurants serve sushi such as the white snail and the American snail. In other countries, milky is also called by other names such asbakagai, batare, hiragai, and birugai.”
The peak season for mirukui
The season for milk clams varies depending on the production area and individual species, but the peak season is said to be in autumn and spring. The best season to eat them is from winter to spring.
Mirukui is large, has a great taste and texture, and is caught in small numbers, making it a super luxury item, and is mainly sold at high-end sushi restaurants and Japanese cuisine restaurants. However, in recent years, living creatures have been imported from Korea at relatively low prices, and related species have also been imported from the United States.
However, if you want to know the exact season, it is best to contact your local fish store or market. We also recommend that you investigate further.
