This otsumami (snack paired with alcohol) is made with oyster meat from Miyajima in the Hiroshima Prefecture, an area famous for its fresh quality oysters and oyster dishes. The meat is smoked slowly with cherry wood chips, soaked in soybean oil, and seasoned with salt to create an aromatic and umami experience. It is tightly packed immediately to contain and preserve the fresh rich flavors of its carefully selected ingredients. Best enjoyed with fresh sake or beer!
