KYOTO, Apr 19 (News On Japan) –

Harvested from Maizuru Bay, these rock oysters are cultivated over three years, suspended from rafts in mineral-rich seawater. Known domestically as “Tango no Umi-Ikusare Iwagaki,” these oysters, which weigh over 300 grams every when shelled, are marketed underneath a regional model. They are characterised by their dimension—about 1.5 occasions bigger than pure rock oysters—and their wealthy taste.
