Sublime Sake-Steamed Oysters
Whenever I use oysters in recipes, I always plump them up with wine or sake. Plumped up oysters look so good, so I tried one, and it was so good—better than when raw, stir fried, and even deep fried. And so easy! Since then, this has become a family favorite!
If you spend a bit more and go for large oysters, they'll be really delicious. The oysters are heated just enough to plump them up, but they're not cooked through so it's best to use oysters that can be eaten raw. If you microwave the grated daikon radish, the harsh flavor will be dissipated. Plus, warm grated daikon radish with warm oysters tastes so good together. Use the cooking liquid as a soup stock to make soups and so on. Recipe by Tenuki mama chan

- 1
Wash the shucked oysters while gently shaking them in water (2 to 3 times). Put some salt water that's about as salty as sea water in a bowl, and soak the oysters in it.
- 2
Bring an equal amount each of sake and water to a boil in a pan, to evaporate the alcohol. (The alcohol may flame up while it's cooking off, but the flames will disappear right away so don't panic.)
- 3
Gently put the oysters in the sake-water liquid. When they have plumped up they are done! (You can use the cooking liquid for clear soups or chawanmushi (savory egg custard), or in oyster rice.)
- 4
Put the grated daikon radish in a microwave-safe container and microwave for 1-2 minutes until it no longer tastes harsh. (It will be OK for small children this way too!) Serve the oysters while they're still warm topped with the grated daikon radish.

Butter Sautéed Oysters with Oyster Sauce Butter Sautéed Oysters with Oyster Sauce
I thought up a recipe to enjoy oysters other than deep frying.When you clean the oysters, put about 1 tablespoon of katakuriko in a bowl, then lift and turn the oysters in it. Rinse in water after that, and they'll become very clean.If you pat the oysters dry very well, you'll only need a light coating of katakuriko! Recipe by EnjoyKitchen

Shiso-Scented Oysters Marinated in Oil Shiso-Scented Oysters Marinated in Oil
I've been making this every year for more than a decade. I've experimented with various methods in the past, but this is the one I use now.The seasoning ingredients are very simple, so the taste is dependent on their quality.I've been using the same sauce that I am able to get easily in recent years. (See the Step 19 photo.)I recommend using a non-stick frying pan to which the oysters won't stick and burn.In Step 12, some of the umami from the oysters will stick to the pan, but just leave any lumps as-is. Don't try to scrape them off too hard and mix them back with the oysters. The burnt bits that stick to the pan are full of umami, but its also burnt sauce, so it will make the oysters taste bitter.

Easy and Delicious Asari Clams Steamed In Sake Easy and Delicious Asari Clams Steamed In Sake
This is my mother's recipe. We can dig clams nearby, so whenever we went clam digging when I was a child, I used to ask her to make these sake-steamed clams for us.Some clams are very salty, so taste before adding the soy sauce. It's best to de-sand the clams in a wide, shallow container so that the clams are in a single layer. If you don't have a container like that though, a bowl is fine. Recipe by Rikopin mama -
