I've seen Itamae clam slapping for aoyagi, but never for mirugai.


But the aoyagi too was dead, no?

Yeah, probably.. I didn't take its vital signs before the Itamae
slapped it to death on the counter.


i've seen my chef do the ike/tina turner thang to the mirugai. but a
limp piece of raw mirugai will still be a limp piece of raw mirugai.
kinda like eating an old rubber band. yech!

If its fresh it should be crisp and crunchy. I'm not a big fan, but when
I've had it fresh it's good.
