About Oysters

Oysters farmed in Itoshima, known as "true oysters" or "shinjigaki" (真牡蠣), are among Japan's most renowned. Grown in the bountiful environment where lush mountains meet the sea, they are celebrated for their rich, creamy sweetness and luxurious flavor.

Itoshima oysters can be enjoyed in a variety of ways—raw, boiled, grilled, deep-fried, or smoked—they're always delicious. A freshly shucked oyster, topped with a squeeze of lemon juice, delivers a burst of "ocean essence" that fills your mouth with an unforgettable taste of the sea.

Every winter, nearly 30 oyster huts open across Itoshima City, attracting crowds eager to savor these fresh, juicy oysters at affordable prices. This "Itoshima Oyster Boom" has become a beloved seasonal tradition.

These oyster huts, located along the Fukuoka Prefecture coastline, are run by local fishermen who cultivate oysters in the region. They specialize in serving barbecued oysters alongside other seafood, offering visitors a unique and flavorful dining experience.
