Lake Ogawara Shijimi Clams

Lake Ogawara is known locally as the 'Treasure Lake' because of the abundance of fishery products it yields. The Yamato shijimi clams, raised in this brackish lake where seawater and freshwater mix, are a representative bounty of this lake. We carefully raise them over about four years, harvesting only large-sized clams with a shell length of 15mm or more. Using a gentle fishing method that does not damage the lake, we maintain high freshness without weakening the shells. Their quality is officially certified and registered under Japan's Geographical Indication (GI) system. With a rich broth unique to large clams and a satisfyingly meaty texture, they create a golden, savory miso soup that warms you to the core. It is a true taste from one of the most famous clam-producing regions in Tohoku.
