Trails to Oishii Tokyo

Shijimi

Season 2, Episode 1 of 52

Shijimi: this tiny, coin-sized clam is beloved in Japan. Not only is it packed with nutrients like amino acids, but it has a rich umami flavor and goes perfectly in miso soup. We visit Lake Shinji, famous for its shijimi catch, and discover how these clams are harvested, sorted with a surprising sound-based method, and used in a variety of delicious dishes. Come with us as we crack open the secrets of shijimi.
