Kumos in Japan?
Dec 10, 2009
The Kumamoto oyster, we’ve long been told, came to the U.S. from southern Japan, where it can no longer be found. Well, true. But thanks to the good biologists at Kumamoto Prefectural Fisheries Research Center, Kumos are again frolicking (well, they don’t frolic much) in the balmy waters of their native prefecture. They should start popping up on Japanese menus in about a year. Thanks to James Gallagher of Ezo Seafoods in Hokkaido for this tip. If you’re in Hokkaido, check out his new oyster bar.
