We don't have any girls in our family, but I make this for my mother's birthday every year, which is the same day as the Doll Festival.

Perform Steps 6-7 quickly. After removing the sand from the shells, they will be quite slippery when you wash them, but please wash them very well. There was one time where I got my finger caught in a shell! Be careful! For 4 servings. Recipe by sweet_rose

Ingredients

4 servings
  1. 8Hamaguri clams
  2. 800 mlWater
  3. 1 tbspUsukuchi soy sauce
  4. 1 tspCoarse salt
  5. 3 tbspSake
  6. 1one 5 cm square Kombu
  7. 1 dashMitsuba
  8. 1 dashWheat bran (optional)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Put the water and coarse salt into a large bowl. Add the clams to remove the sand. Let them soak anywhere for about half a day, or at least 3-4 hours.

  2. 2

    Cover with a newspaper because it's probably better if they're in a dark place Once the sand is removed, rub the shells together and rinse.

  3. 3

    Place the clams and the water from the ingredient list into a pot. Add the konbu and sake and turn the heat to medium-low.

  4. 4

    Once it has begun to boil and the shells open, lower the heat to very low right away and remove the konbu and clams.

  5. 5

    Skim off any scum from the surface and add the usukuchi soy sauce and salt. Give it a quick stir and then gently return the clams to the pot. It's done.

  6. 6

    Right before eating, garnish with mitsuba. The wheat gluten (fu) is optional.

  7. 7

    I suggest you cut alternating slits in the konbu.

  8. 8

    Note: To make the salt water for removing the sand from the clams, I use 500 ml of water with 15 g of salt.
