Ingredients

  • 1 pack Shijimi clams (basket or freshwater clams)
  • 1 Water (or dashi stock)
  • 1 Sake
  • 1 as required Miso

Method

  • Thoroughly de-sand the shijimi clams.
  • Put the water, sake, and shijimi clams into a pot to boil.
  • Be carefulif the broth comes to a boil, it will really foam up and might cause the pot to overflow, so watch it carefully.
  • Since the bubbles (the scum) will keep on surfacing even if you skim them off consistently, turn the heat off once all the clams have opened.
  • When all the clams have opened, whisk in the miso to finish.
  • You can make miso soup with manila clams the same way.
