The popular early summer gourmet event, the "Nippo Coast Rock Oyster Festival," held in three cities and one town in Miyazaki Prefecture (Nobeoka, Kadogawa, and Hyuga) and Oita Prefecture (Saiki), has started again this year!
The rock oysters grown on the Nichiho coast, where the Kuroshio Current and the bounty of the mountains meet,
✔ Large grains, very satisfying to eat.
✔ Rich and creamy
✔ Rich in minerals
These oysters are larger than typical rock oysters, and farmed varieties are said to have about twice the amount of meat as their shell, making them a real luxury.
This is a seasonal delicacy available only at this time of year ✨
