The night fell, and small, silent snowflakes gathered on the ground to form a thick white blanket.
Despite the darkness and the slippery road, as a diligent fisherman, Aoyama Xiu Xin knew the principle of living off the land or sea, so he went out to fish in the middle of the night.
Due to the high tide at night, the sandy beach that had been dry during the day was now wet and slippery, and the disordered water plants blocked his view, adding to the difficulty of his harvest. But the starlight did not disappoint the traveler, and he pushed aside the water plants to find a clam that was still breathing.
Aoyama Xiu Xin was overjoyed, for he would not return empty-handed tonight. He started eating sashimi on the spot. When the ingredients themselves are fresh enough, even without any seasonings, there is a unique flavor.
The fresh clam was tender, juicy, and delicious.
Japanese people like sashimi, and when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
