4 teaspoons mirin (Japanese sweet wine)
2 teaspoons rice vinegar

This dish was so easy to make and it tasted amazing. I used fresh clams from the fish market and they were cooked to perfection. The butter and sake sauce was the perfect complement to the clams. I will definitely be making this dish again.

I've made this dish several times and it's always a hit. The clams are always tender and juicy, and the sauce is flavorful and addictive. I like to serve it with crusty bread to soak up all the delicious sauce.

This was a delicious and easy dish to make. I used littleneck clams and they were cooked perfectly in just a few minutes. The butter and sake sauce was flavorful and complemented the clams well. I will definitely be making this dish again.
