An oyster sauce with a noticeable and flavorful taste of oysters!

Due to its complex ocean currents and proximity to lush forests, Kesennuma Bay in Miyagi Prefecture produces some of the highest quality oysters in Japan. The oysters for this Kesennuma Bay Oyster Sauce are harvested one by one by skilled workers between March and late May just before spawning season (instead of the typical winter season), as this is when the oysters are at the plumpest. Only the highest quality oysters are chosen, which means once they are sold out, you have to wait an entire season for the next batch.

Unlike most oyster sauces that use just the boiled oyster broth, our producer, Ishiwata Shoten, uses the whole oyster which gives this oyster sauce a distinct oyster flavor and savory umami taste.

Suggested uses: Cook with it (great in a stir fry), use it as a sauce for meats, seafood or vegetables.
