๐ฆช SMALL OYSTER. BIG REPUTATION. โ FRESH KUMAMOTOS ARE HERE!
If you know oysters, you know Kumamoto is a name that gets attention.
Fresh delivered THIS AFTERNOON and now on the raw bar at Oyster Shooters Raw Bar & Grill โ $4.50 each while they last.
So what makes the Kumamoto so special?
๐ฆช THE DEEP CUP
Take a look at the picture. Kumamotos are famous for that beautifully sculpted, deep shell that cradles a plump little oyster and plenty of liquor.
๐ THE FLAVOR
Kumamotos are prized for being mild, clean and remarkably approachable, with a delicate brininess followed by their signature sweet, almost melon-like finish. Theyโre a great oyster for someone beginning to explore boutique oysters โ but theyโre equally sought after by serious oyster lovers.
โญ THE SIZE IS PART OF THE EXPERIENCE
Donโt judge this oyster by its relatively small size. Kumamotos are intentionally petite and slow-growing. What youโre after isnโt a giant mouthful of oyster โ itโs that deep cup, firm meat, beautiful liquor and concentrated flavor.
๐ WHY THEYโRE SO DESIRED
Kumamotos (Crassostrea sikamea) are a distinct species of oyster originally from Japan. Their slower growth, characteristic shell, limited production and uniquely sweet flavor profile have helped make them one of the most recognizable premium oysters on American raw bars.
And when we can get beautiful ones like these, we buy them.
๐ฆช FRESH KUMAMOTO OYSTERS โ $4.50 EACH
Delivered fresh this afternoon. Come try one alongside our Virginia Purcells and build yourself a flight through a few different oyster varieties. Thatโs where you can really taste how dramatically species, growing region and water can change an oyster.
No need to dress this one up too much, either. Try your first one naked and taste what makes a Kumamoto a Kumamoto. Then add your favorite accompaniments if you want.
Available while this delivery lasts.
