Description

Oyster of Japanese selection, whose cuisine is known to make maximum use of umami, the so- called fifth taste. Umami in Japanese literally means tasty or savoury and is present in all those foods rich in glutamate, such as fresh and preserved meats and fish, mushrooms, seaweed, cheeses and cured meats. The exceptionally rich flavour of this oyster, with its tender and creamy flesh, fills the mouth at first taste. It possesses sweet notes, combined with well-balanced iodine notes, which contribute to a unique product of excellent range.
