Ōtagawa River Shijimi Clams

Otagawa River Shijimi Clams

Rare Deluxe Shijimi Clams

These rare shijimi clams are raised only in the pure sands of the Ōtagawa River, where nutrient-rich water from the Chugoku mountains flows into the plankton-rich waters of the Seto Inland Sea. Their uniquely yellow shells attest to the freshness of the riverbed and their large meat make them hearty and filling, which is hard to say for other shijimi clams in Japan. Nutritious and beautiful, they make a great addition to all kinds of cuisine.

Hiroshima Lemon Akashū

Hiroshima Lemon Akashu

Preservative and wax-free lemons good right down to the peel

Hiroshima Lemons boast the largest lemon yield in all of Japan. Grown in the temperate climes of Setouchi with plenty of sunlight, our lemons are nutritious, fragrant, and wonderfully refreshing. Akashū lemons are strictly selected and marked in red (aka) as outstanding (shū) for their beautiful shape and size. Preservatives and wax are not used whatsoever, ensuring safe lemons that can be used down to the peels. From October to December, Hiroshima Lemons are shipped out as fragrant green lemons, and from January to May, when lemons are in peak season, they are shipped out as juicy yellow lemons. June to July provide lemons that have been stored in special warehouses, and from July to September, our greenhouse-grown lemons hit the market, ensuring a year-round supply.

Nitrogen-Frozen Hiroshima Oysters

Using technology not available anywhere else in Japan to deliver delicious Hiroshima oysters year-round

We freeze our Hiroshima oysters in-house using our own nitrogen freezing process. Meaty and juicy, these plump oysters are characterized by their beautiful milky color. This unique nitrogen freezing process is only done here at Yamashita Suisan; freezing oysters with nitrogen reduces cell destruction seen in typical freezing processes because it freezes the oysters much faster (ultra-rapid freezing). The process virtually eliminates the impact on quality and taste to ensure the natural flavors are locked in. Enjoy delicious oyster cuisine year-round with our oysters.
