If you leave out the time it takes to remove the salt from the clams, you can make a very easy, yet delicious meal.

This also tastes great if you use manila clams instead of hamaguri clams, and enoki mushrooms instead of shimeji!
But, if you place enoki mushrooms on the bottom of the container or dish, they'll become hard to pick up so I don't recommend using them. For 2 servings. Recipe by Rokkuru

These are perfect for Girl's Day/Doll Festival (March 3rd)! You can also make these in a heavy bottomed pot! Cook on low-medium heat for about 13-15 minutes and they're done.
