- 1 tsp wasabi paste (or freshly grated)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (use premium shoyu for best flavor)

2. Arrange:
Place sliced clam on a chilled plate over a bed of daikon radish.
Add shiso leaves and lemon wedges for freshness.
3. Serve:
Mix wasabi into soy sauce (or serve separately for dipping).
Enjoy immediately with chopsticks.
Tip: For extra crunch, add cucumber slices or seaweed salad on the side.
