Me and clams are food friends! I remember in Tokyo in the Tonkotsu shops, they would serve Miso Soup with these little black clams in them. It would impart this flavor to the Miso broth that's just to die for. You could pry each one open and scoop ou the delicious clam meat. I've never seen those clams sold here in Hawaii. Hopefully when the Tsukiji Market Restaurant opens in Ala Moana they'll have that. Interesting how you have this affinity for Korean Nori. Is that the one that's sweet and crispy like the Japanese Teriyaki style Nori that come in 2"x4" strips? My girlfriend learned about this pickled mixed vegetables from the Chef at Hyatt's Musashi restaurant. It's a type of Tsukemono but I can't remember the name. The vegetables are SO FLAVORFUL... kind of like Taegu, but more suttle. You simply top your bowl of (HOT) rice with it, similar to how you would with Furikake. It's packaged in a tied-up tube-shaped plastic bag, sold where the Tsukemono is in Don Quijote for about $4/bag. A little goes a long way. I'll get the name and let you know. Mahalo for another great potluck idea! Yummm.. clam-flavored rice! Me and clams are food friends!

I think that's what you are describing cuz they mainly use 3(san)kinds of vegetables packed in a tube in the seasoned water. i learned a recipe that called for that ...you mix it with cooked hot rice that was cooked with chicken broth. i agree ..delicious, simple and healthy! lodee: i’m so glad you enjoy this! all ethnic groups seem to like this too!

Both places carry the same Shirakiku brand Ajitsuke Kogai canned clams. Marukai was cheaper at $2.99/can vs. $3.59 at Don Quijote. You're right! The name of those "prepared vegetables" is indeed MIYAMA SANSAI - MINI, also a Shirakiku product. I had a feeling you've heard of and tried it. Then again, that's a whole nother dish.
