Shijimi Tsukudani (Seasoned Freshwater Clams) introduction

Lake Shinji, a brackish-water lake, provides the ideal environment for raising shijimi clams. It boasts the highest shijimi harvest in Japan, and its "Shinji-ko Shijimi" is a nationally recognized and esteemed brand. Shijimi Tsukudani (しじみ佃煮) is made by simmering these premium shijimi clams in a savory and slightly sweet soy-based sauce. This flavorful dish is perfect as a snack with sake or as a topping for rice. Its exceptional taste also makes it a highly appreciated souvenir.
