Yano Suisan Hiroshima Oysters

Product description

Plump, flavorful oysters from the clear and bountiful waters of Mitsu Bay​​

Mineral-rich river water from the Mt. Noro water system and sea water mix in the waters around Mitsu Bay in Yasu-ura-cho, where our aquaculture farm is located. These factors combine to create highly clear and bountiful waters where pearls have been cultivated since ancient times. The high salinity of Mitsu Bay fosters oysters that are plump and rich in flavor, umami, and sweetness. In addition, these oysters are consistent, enabling plump, juicy oysters to be harvested even in April and May. 
Yano Suisan is one of the few companies in Hiroshima that works from nurturing oyster seeds all the way to processing the harvested oysters. This management process enables them to provide safe and secure products, especially in terms of hygiene. Mitsu Bay, their farming area, has been designated by the prefecture as the only oyster farming area in Japan with products suitable for export to the EU.
