Rock Oyster (Natsuki)

When you open the rugged shell, what emerges is a plump meat far larger than one would imagine from looking at the shell alone. As you slurp it, a smooth texture and the rich flavor of 'sea milk' spread throughout your mouth. This is 'Natsuki,' the representative rock oyster of Tottori's summer. The peak season is from July to August. During this period before spawning, the meat grows to its largest size. Only the highest quality oysters with a shell length of 13 cm or more are permitted to bear the 'Natsuki' label, making them a rarity that accounts for only about 10% of the total catch. Squeeze some fresh lemon and take a smooth bite. Enjoy the bounties of the summer Sea of Japan in large, hearty mouthfuls.
