About Kujukushima Kaki Meshi (Glutinous rice with oyster tsukudani)

Oysters are sometimes called the “milk of the sea” and are rich in nutrients such as protein and vitamins. Kujukushima oysters are said to absorb abundant nutrients from the land carried by the mountains that rise close to the winding coastline and by the islands offshore. Though their shells are relatively small, they are packed with meat and have a rich flavor. Glutinous rice is cooked in a savory oyster broth and finished with oyster tsukudani, oysters simmered in a sweet-savory sauce. The oysters’ deep flavor pairs well with the chewy rice and sweet-savory topping, making this a dish you’ll want to keep eating.
