Just Like Mom's Cooking

We did some activities to get to know the Ohta River. The theme is clams. We dug clams and ate them, then wrote poems about it.

It's uncomfortable
to squat and dig clams.
My knees hurt.

What's this?
It looks like a rock
but it's a clam.

Delicious!
When everyone eats together
It's 100 times better

Buttered clams
at peak season
are the most delicious

Stepping into
the middle of the river
it's so cold (hinyari shita)!

Clam soup
reminds me of
my mom's cooking
