Homata Scallops

The calm waters of Mutsu Bay nurture scallops with thick meat and a sweet flavor. These are the scallops of Homata. Homata Village is one of the towns where scallop farming in Mutsu Bay flourishes. The pure, mineral-rich water flowing from the Hakkoda Mountains and the Shirakami Sanchi mountains fosters abundant plankton; the scallops that feed plentifully on this plankton develop thick flesh and concentrated, mellow sweetness. This flavor is a direct result of their slow growth within the calm bay. Their plump, elastic texture truly shines when served as sashimi. When grilled with butter or over an open flame (hamayaki), the aroma of the sea and their natural sweetness are released. Ordering directly from the source ensures exceptional freshness. It is a dish packed with the blessings of Mutsu Bay.
