In a very hot sauce pan, add the clams and stir. Add the sake and
immediately cover to steam open the clams. Add ginger, shallots, garlic and
miso and cook until soft. Add chicken stock and reduce by 20 per cent.
Taste for seasoning. Add fennel. In a saucepan blanch the udon noodles in
salted boiling water. Plate noodles in large serving bowls and ladle broth
