Jusan-ko Corbicula (Yamato Shijimi)
The golden broth is packed with the essence of Aomori's nature. These are clams from Lake Jusan-ko. Lake Jusan-ko is a brackish lake where seawater and freshwater mix, providing the perfect environment for Yamato corbicula to thrive. Growing slowly in nutrient-rich waters, the meat is large and characterized by its intense umami flavor. Through sustainable fishing practices—such as limiting catch volumes, establishing closed fishing seasons, and cleaning the lakebed—the resource has been preserved for generations. These efforts were recognized in 2016 when 'Yamato Shijimi from Lake Jusan-ko' was registered under the Geographical Indication (GI) protection system. When added to miso soup, it releases a deep, mineral-rich broth. Also famous as shijimi ramen, this is an Aomori treasure enjoyed even through mail order.
