Kumamoto Oysters

Description

Originally native to Japan but now cultivated along the cool, nutrient-rich coastal waters of the Pacific Northwest—particularly in Washington and California—Kumamoto Oysters thrive in ideal environmental conditions that enhance their signature taste and texture.

With a deep-cupped, rugged shell and smooth, buttery flesh, these oysters are smaller than most, making them an excellent introduction for first-time oyster eaters and a treasured delicacy for experienced fans. The flavor profile is truly one-of-a-kind: creamy and rich, with a delicate sweetness and finishing hints of melon, cucumber, and light brine—perfectly balanced for enjoyment raw on the half shell.

Kumamoto Oysters are a staple in fine dining restaurants and oyster bars across the globe, but thanks to our fast and carefully packaged shipping, you can now enjoy this premium oyster variety at home. Each oyster is sustainably farmed and harvested with attention to freshness and quality. Whether you’re planning an elegant seafood tower, crafting a chef-inspired appetizer, or celebrating with Champagne and oysters, Kumamotos deliver a consistent and luxurious experience.

Best served chilled and freshly shucked, Kumamoto Oysters pair beautifully with mignonette sauces, citrus granitas, dry white wines, and sparkling brut Champagnes. Their velvety mouthfeel and mild salinity allow them to shine without overpowering your palate, making them an excellent choice for curated tasting menus or upscale seafood spreads.

Available year-round and shipped in insulated packaging to maintain optimal temperature, our Kumamoto Oysters arrive ready to impress. Elevate your next dinner party, date night, or gourmet meal with these delicate treasures from the sea.
