Ingredients

2 servings

  2. 1Kombu (5 cm square)
  3. 400 mlWater

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Wash clams with tap water. Pat dry the kombu with a well-wrung kitchen towel. Tie 3 stalks of mitsuba together for the garnish.

  2. 2

    Flush the sand out of the clams: Dissolve salt in water and submerge the clams. Cover with newspapers and leave for 2 to 4 hours. *I recommend you use a colander and a bowl for this task.

  3. 3

    Put water, kombu, washed clams, and sake in a pot, and heat over high. Take the kombu right before it comes to a boil.

  4. 4

    When clams open up, skim off the scum, and adjust the flavor with soy sauce.

  5. 5

    Serve the soup in bowls, and garnish with the tied mitsuba.
