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
We love kumamotos! We ordered them for NYE to go with our seafood extravaganza. They were wonderful. We only had one out of the 30 we decided to toss. We had half of them raw on the halfshell and the other half for oysters Rockefeller the next day. We enjoyed it so much, we're ordering the sample pack for Valentine's Day.
They were fabulous and a perfect New Year’s Eve treat.
I ordered for New Years Eve! 30 of 30 were perfect. Beautiful and very fresh to shuck. We loved the fresh taste of the sea! Best Kumamoto’s ever! Highly recommend Taylor.
