Fukagawa-don (Japanese rice bowl with clams and miso broth)

Fukagawa-Don is one of a traditional Donburi (rice bowl menu) in Japan.
Lightly cook clams and spring onions with miso broth, and place on the steamed rice.
It is said that Fukagawa-don appeared next toward the end of the Edo period.

Basically Asari clam is one of a traditional ingredient of Fukagawa-don in Japan.
On this time I used mussel instead because mussel is cheaper than clams in the Netherlands.
