Mussel

mussels (Igai, a type of mussel) are not commonly used in traditional Japanese cuisine, but they are utilized in certain regions and in creative Japanese dishes. With their rich umami flavor, they are often prepared as sake-steamed dishes or used as an ingredient in miso soup, and they also pair well with simmered dishes or mixed rice. In Japanese cuisine that incorporates Western elements, they are treated similarly to mussels, with cooking methods that bring out their savory broth, allowing diners to enjoy their distinctive taste.

The soup made with dried mussels is incredibly delicious.

Dried mussel (*Mytilus coruscus*, also known as thick-shelled mussel) is a shellfish with exceptionally high nutritional value. Its flesh is tender and flavorful, rich in high-quality protein with a well-balanced amino acid composition, making it easy to digest and absorb. It also contains abundant unsaturated fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, which are effective in lowering blood lipids and supporting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health. In addition, it is rich in various vitamins such as vitamin B12, vitamin A, and vitamin E, as well as minerals including iron, zinc, calcium, and selenium, which help promote blood formation and enhance immunity. In traditional Chinese medicine, dried mussel is considered to have the effects of nourishing yin, tonifying the kidneys, and enriching the blood, making it highly valued as a tonic food. Combining both delicious flavor and health benefits, it is widely used in everything from daily meals to medicinal cuisine.
