Surf Clam (Hokki)
Thick-fleshed, intensely sweet, and with a plump texture—the surf clam represents the quintessential taste of winter in Yamamoto Town. Isohama Fishing Port in Yamamoto Town boasts the highest surf clam landings in the prefecture. To protect resources, they have established a unique and strict rule to 'only harvest clams that have grown to 9.5 cm or larger,' which results in clams that are larger and meatier than those from other regions. Following the Great East Japan Earthquake, the port also has a history of successfully resuming fishing by developing new fishing gear capable of spraying high-pressure seawater to clear debris left on the seabed by the tsunami. As one of the three major specialties of Yamamoto Town, alongside strawberries and apples, it is a bounty of the winter sea that you must enjoy via sashimi or Hokki-meshi.
