The hangover cure that comes in a shell. Shijimi.
-
When Japanese have morning hangovers, they typically consume shijimi (freshwater clams) to ward off the effects. The clams, available at supermarkets throughout Japan, contain amino acids (ornithine) that help detoxify ammonia, reduce fatigue and protect the liver. Too small to eat separately, they are usually added to miso soup to enhance its flavor. When eaten at restaurants, they give you the confidence to drink more alcohol without worrying about the next morning.
