Shijimi Ramen
A bowl full of blessings from Lake Shinji! Flavorful ramen enriched with shijimi clams
Shijimi Ramen introduction
Shijimi Ramen (しじみラーメン) is a beloved local ramen dish that showcases the plump, flavor-packed shijimi clams harvested from Lake Shinji in Shimane Prefecture. The soup is based on animal broths like chicken or pork, enhanced with a rich extract from the shijimi clams, creating a perfect harmony between the clam's delicate flavor and the robust broth. The clear soup is packed with umami, so delicious you'll want to savor every last drop. Shijimi Ramen comes in various styles, including salt, soy sauce, and miso flavors. Among the favorites are the smoky soy sauce style and a miso blend combining red and white miso for a deep, balanced taste. The clam essence shines through in every variation, yet the soup remains light and refreshing, making it easy to enjoy to the last sip. The firm, curly noodles made with natural alkaline water from the Okuizumo region pair wonderfully with the soup, completing this delightful dish. If you visit Lake Shinji, don’t miss the chance to indulge in a bowl of Shijimi Ramen.
