Large Asari Clam
When you open a shell about the size of your palm, you'll find it packed with thick, meaty flesh. This is the Large Asari clam, a specialty of Mikawa Bay and Ise Bay. Formally known as Uchimurasaki, as its name suggests, the inside of the shell is faintly tinged with purple. When slowly grilled over charcoal or a grill and drizzled with just a drop of sake and soy sauce, the plump, swollen flesh becomes tender and easy to bite through, releasing an explosion of umami and the scent of the sea in your mouth. Around Cape Irago, the fragrant aroma of freshly grilled clams wafts from shopfronts everywhere. Whether prepared as a fry, mixed into rice, or simmered, their plump, satisfying texture is exceptional. It is a dish that allows you to savor the full richness of the Atsumi Peninsula's seas.
