Kujukushima Oyster Rice introduction

Kujukushima Oyster Rice (九十九島かき飯, Kujukushima kakimeshi) features the flavorful goodness of "sea milk"—as oysters are affectionately called due to their high protein and vitamin content. Kujukushima oysters are nurtured in the nutrient-rich waters of the intricate coastal terrain, surrounded by mountains and scattered islands. These oysters are slightly smaller yet packed densely with plump, rich-tasting meat. In this dish, glutinous rice is cooked with a savory oyster-based broth, then topped with sweet and tangy oyster simmered in soy glaze. The bold flavor of the oysters perfectly complements the chewy rice, creating a dish so irresistibly delicious you’ll keep coming back for more.
