1
Clean the Clams
Rinse the fresh clams under cold water to remove any sand or grit. Soak them in a bowl of water for about 30 minutes, then drain.
2
Prepare Garlic and Ginger
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves. Peel and grate the ginger.
3
Chop Green Onions
Finely chop the green onions, separating the white parts from the green tops.

4
Make the Broth
In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing until fragrant (about 2 minutes).
5
Add Sake and Miso
Pour in the sake and water, bring to a gentle simmer. Whisk in the white miso paste until fully dissolved.
6
Cook the Clams
Add the cleaned clams to the pot. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the clams open up. Discard any clams that do not open.
7
Finish and Serve
Stir in the white parts of the green onions. Serve the clams in bowls with the broth, garnished with the green tops of the onions.
