I prepared these hamaguri clams the same way I would if I was making clam chowder!!

I heard a rumor that hamaguri clams don't eat sand.....so it's probably be okay not to degrit...
I didn't have time, so I didn't degrit and they came out fine!
Simply tying the mistuba stems and placing the mitsuba in the soup makes the soup look so much nicer. Recipe by Nikoru mama
