Appa Kaiyaki (Shellfish Miso Bake)
For shellfish lovers, there is a coastal dish unique to Ise-Shima: Appa Kaiyaki. Known affectionately as 'Appa,' these are the lovely, colorful shells of the Hiogi clam. In this region, where Ama diving culture is deeply rooted, freshly caught shellfish are placed directly over the fire in their shells and brought to a boil. As the meat dances and bubbles within the shell, it offers a firm, crunchy texture and an intense burst of oceanic umami. The juices collected in the shell are also richly infused with the essence of the sea. Taking a bite from a piping hot shell while feeling the sea breeze—a luxurious moment awaits, as if you are tasting the entire sea of Shima.
