Hamaguri
Trails to Tsukiji - Season 2
DESCRIPTION
The Japanese love shellfish, and their favorite is without doubt the common orient clam, or hamaguri. With each shell having only one perfect match, it's considered a symbol of undying marriage. It's also served at the yearly girl's festival to pray for young women's happy futures and employed in traditional art pieces. Not just delicious, hamaguri is deeply rooted in Japanese culture.
