  • Description

    Our most innovative oyster, Shigokus are Pacific oysters grown in bags that are attached to floats that go up and down in the tides, tumbling the oysters.

    Every time the oysters get agitated, they use their muscles to close their shells. It’s like Pilates class for oysters twice a day, and the result is an oyster with wonderfully firm flesh and a deep cup.

    Shigoku means "ultimate” in Japanese, and we think these unique oysters fit the bill.

    Quantity: 30 count
    Flavor Profile: Strong brininess with a sweet finish and firm, plump texture.
    Size: approximately a 2 - 2.75 inch shell.

    The best

    I had family coming into town and wanted to show them how us PNW'ers live! I only wish I could have picked these up, but shipping was easy. They were delicious and not hard to shuck. I look forward to ordering more!

    Meaty!

    I used these oysters for an "East Meets West" oyster bar party. They have a deep cup, hold their liquor well and are mild but meaty. They are a nice pairing with Kumamoto oysters. Taylor's shipping packaging is the best I have ever seen. The oysters arrived fresh and cold. Thank you Taylor.

    Best oyster, best shipping and service.

    Had a hundred Shigokus delivered uber fresh and right on time for a family birthday dinner in Colorado. They were a special treat and of the typical top notch Taylor quality.

    Shigokus

    Delicious as can be, but all that tumbling must put on muscle; those guys put up quite a fight opening. Well worth it.

    Delicious, best customer service

    Fresh.. tasty and sweet.. can't resist. A day after I order this one, I also ordered the Sumo Komo.. The customer service is superior, they combined my both orders and shipped to me next day with nice packing

    Taste/Consistency

    I love the deep shell of these oysters. However they lack consistency. 7 shells out of 40 where open and dried out and some that were close had very little liquid in them. Some were very good however but probably won't buy this oyster again. The store itself does an excellent job packing and arrives FedEx NDA early morning delivery.
