1kg medium clams in the shell or 200g fresh or canned clam meat
4 teaspoons sake
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons mirin 1/2 tablespoon finely shredded fresh young ginger
6 cups freshly cooked Japanese rice

Scrub clams with a brush, and soak in a large bowl of cold water for 5 minutes (if using clam meat, rinse in cold water, drain and set aside). Drain and rinse well.
Cook clams covered in a medium saucepan over high heat for 3-4 minutes or until shells open slightly, discarding any that do not open. Add a tablespoons of water if there is not enough liquid from the clams to form some steam. Drain and when cool enough to handle, remove clam meat and discard shells.
