Ofunato Oysters
Oysters from Ofunato are nurtured by the Sanriku Ria coast. The intricate bays provide calm waters, and because nutrients from the mountains flow in through numerous rivers, the area is abundant with plankton. The oysters soak up these bountiful nutrients to grow plump and meaty. Their creamy and intense umami is a true gift unique to the nutrient-rich Ria coast. When oysters, which grow large in the winter, are grilled over charcoal, their rich flavor overflows in your mouth along with the aroma of the sea. Whether enjoyed smooth and raw, fragrant when grilled, or plump when steamed, Ofunato oysters are delicious in any preparation—the star of Sanriku's winter that allows you to taste the full richness of the ocean. They are truly 'milk from the sea,' a must-eat during the cold season.
