Prized for their sweet honeydew like meat brimming with sweet liquor, Kumos are loved for their clean and fruity aromas.
Grown from rare, mid-century heirloom seeds dating back to the original Japanese imports of the 1940s. Slow-grown and a labor of love these Japanese natives grow significantly slower than most oysters (approximately 3-5 years!), but some things in life are worth the wait, and Kumos are one of them!
Petite but deeply satisfying, these oysters measure approximately 1-2 inches and offer a consistently delicious oyster on the half shell.
Quantity: 30 count
Flavor Profile: Bright, sweet flavors with a cucumber finish.
Size: Approximately 1 - 2 inch shell
I have had most varieties of oysters, but for consistency and that briny taste that smacks of the ocean I always gravitate back to Kumamotos. I prefer then. over all others for eating on the half shell. This shipment did not disappoint. Two empty shells, but that is to be expected from time to time. I have ordered these before and most definitely will do so again. Thank you
Sublime … every time. Never obliterate them with cocktail sauce or even too much hot sauce like Tabasco… just a touch of lemon … it’s the sea you want to savor.
It breaks my heart to write this as it’s our 4th order from Taylor and all others have been fantastic! This batch had 2 empty shells and the rest had a metallic taste, definitely not up to par. We will definitely try again, but it’s an expensive lesson!
