À propos de cet ingrédient
Small freshwater / brackish clam (Corbicula japonica) — Lake Shinji (Shimane) and Tone River (Ibaraki / Chiba) are the principal commercial sources. Lake Shinji's Yamato Shijimi commands GI-equivalent regional pricing. Functional positioning targets ornithine content for liver-support / hangover-relief retail (FFC notifications exist, anchored by Yamato Shijimi). Used in shijimi miso soup, freeze-dried supplements, and increasingly as a B2B ornithine ingredient. Distinct from existing seafood entries.
