Mussels Sakamushi /Steamed in Sake

Today’s recipe is “Mussels Sakamushi/ Steamed in Sake”.

Prince Edward Island is one of  the major source of mussels in eastern Canada.
It is also famous for “Anne of Green Gables” in Japan.

I got very fresh mussels from PEI.
They are farm raised and have  an information tag on each bag.
Check the tag and “Best Before” date.

It is common to steam in white wine but we use sake instead of wine.
Try this Japanese style “Sakamushi” /steam in SAKE.
