About Fukagawa-meshi (Clam rice dish)
Originally a meal prepared by fishermen near Fukagawa, Fukagawa-meshi was once a humble everyday dish. In the Edo period, it was made with surf clams; from the Meiji period onward, other shellfish such as asari clams and hard clams were also used. It comes in two styles: rice topped with a broth made by simmering shellfish with vegetables such as green onions, and shellfish mixed into seasoned rice and cooked together. The shellfish flavor stands out in this distinctive dish.
