Mussels ‘Tsukudani’

In Okayama where I am from, a type of clam called ‘Mogai’ cooked in Mirin, Sugar and Soy Sauce is a traditional local dish and essential for the New Year celebration. I sometimes miss the dish.
Sadly clams are not commonly consumed in Melbourne and hard to find or quite pricey, however mussels are popular and cheap. I wondered if mussels can be cooked like ‘Mogai’ and I tried. Wow!!! The dish of mussels certainly looks different from ‘Mogai’ but tastes surprisingly good.
