🦪 This Season's Oyster (Hinasaki Oysters) Sales Schedule
Thank you for your patience! The schedule for direct sales and shipping of this season’s oysters is as follows:。
- Oysters in the Shell：On sale starting Sunday, November 1
- If you want to simply savor the briny aroma and rich umami flavor of grilled or steamed oysters, start with the ones still in their shells!
- Shucked Oysters：Scheduled to go on sale around mid-November
- Shucked oysters—perfect for fried oysters, hot pot, and making oyster omelets at home—will be available starting in mid-November.(※Please note that the dates may vary slightly depending on weather conditions and catch volumes.)
Be sure to visit Niboshi this winter—it’s full of things to see, from piping-hot “kaki-oko” at local okonomiyaki restaurants to direct sales at the harbor and island tours.. We sincerely look forward to seeing you all there!
