Japanese Noted Foods  Clam Bowl  
 Report

Although "Hamaguri" (hard clam) is a shellfish got to know well, it is rare to see not much. Unless it has got it used to seeing, it cannot distinguish with "Asari" (littleneck clam). But, a size is considerably different in practice. If it is made smaller, "Shijimi" (freshwater clam) is also resembled.

As for this "Hamaguri", the quantity of production of Kashimanada in Ibaragi Prefecture is the top, and the second is Chiba. By such a reason, the "Hamaguri" bowl of the specialty of Chiba is made to eat.



This lunch is contained in the big vessel made from a china which is the form of "Hamaguri", and feels weight. There is also a lid of a shellfish and it is written as "the Hamaguri bowl of Chiba's specialty." I think that it can use for the ornament of the room if nothing is written.

These "Hamaguri" boiled with soy sauce is located in a line on inner boiled rice. The top shell is also merely contained for a while. It was delicious when eating one "Hamaguri". It is "Hamaguri" boiled with the sweet soy sauce of good touch. A thing with cold rice cooked by "Asari" is regrettable. If it warms, I will also regard boiled rice as becoming delicious. "Hamaguri" was eaten after a long time.
