About Iwagaki (Large summer rock oysters)
Tottori’s iwagaki can grow to 20 cm long and weigh up to 1 kg. These wild oysters are harvested by methods including free-diving. Often called the “milk of the sea,” they are best enjoyed raw with a squeeze of lemon. Unlike winter oysters, iwagaki are in season from early summer through the Obon period, making them one of Tottori’s most prized summer delicacies.
