Hokki-meshi (Surf Clam Rice)
Shucked surf clams are simmered in a soy-based sauce, and the rice is cooked using the resulting flavorful broth—a local dish that colors the season from winter to spring in the Wataru and Yamamoto regions. Known as the 'King of Shellfish,' the surf clam (formally known as the noble surf clam) is a large bivalve. The Isohama Fishing Port in Yamamoto Town has long boasted the highest landing volume in the prefecture. When you take a bite of rice infused with the deep umami of the clam, topped with the flavorful pieces of shellfish, the spreading sweetness and oceanic aroma are truly moving. The main serving season is from mid-December to late March. It is a simple yet luxurious winter delicacy born from a seaside community where surf clam fishing thrives.
