Shijimi

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Shijimi" is a small blackish clam about one to three centimeters.

The common names of the species include Shijimi (after its Japanese name), Japanese basket clam or Japanese blue clam.

Shijimi is one of the most delicious clams.

The clam lives in brackish water, and Shinji-ko Lake in Shimane Prefecture is the most famous for it.

Shijimi is most popular bivalvia using miso soup in Japan.

The Japanese love their sake, an alcoholic drink made from fermented rice.

 

So after a night spent drinking bottles at an izakaya, soothe your morning hangover with shijimi, a kind of miso soup.

 

Shijimi clams have an amino acid that removes liver toxins.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Because Shizimi has shells, cooking is troublesome.

So, there are products that can be easily cooked.
