Kumamoto Oysters (30 pcs)

Description

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

Kumamoto Oysters, loved it !!!!!

We had never tasted this type oyster before so we was going to give it a try and we don't regret a second. The oyster arrived in time and was nice packed. I have to say this is the best oyster I have ever eaten. We ate it raw and we also put the on the grill, both ways it was very good. I will order Kumamoto oyster again.

Fantastic Oysters

I was nervous when these first arrived because they had an off smell. I washed them straight away and got 'em stored but could still smell it. Eventually i singled out three or four that had the strongest smell and they ended up being empty/muddy inside, one of which had a wormy parasite guy who had i suppose eaten them. However, once i figured that out and got the bad ones out, the rest were totally awesome. Ate them raw, both family and friends were loving 'em. Got a lot of compliments on bringing oysters to the late-summer parties. The kumamotos seem small when you see the shell, but they pack a lot of flavor and are one of my favorite oyster varieties. Thumbs up.
