Mother bought apricot and Shijimi clam.
She said it's first time to see fresh one.
I think same to me...
looks nectarine...nice smell...but...it's only looks and smell...
We tried that, we thought it should be
sweet like peach, but it was quite dry and
not sweet at all...
tasted a little bit like biwa, but totally not juicy.
I think apricot is eat dry one better.
And then, she cooked shijimi miso soup.
she likes to cook and drink it with white miso.
Shijimi clam is living in fresh or half salt water.
very small and shell is black in colour (abt 2 - 3cm)
taste is very mild, much different form Asari clam or Hamaguri clam.
everytime I had that, remember of my child food.
I was always go to small small river and take small Shijimi clam...
that was only 1cm or 2cm or more smaller...=P
