(1 Dozen Oysters) Kumamoto oysters are prized for their petite size, deep-cupped shells, and rich, buttery flavor profile. Hailing from the Pacific Northwest, these oysters offer a velvety texture and a mild, slightly sweet taste with hints of cucumber and melon. Adored by oyster aficionados, Kumamotos are best savored raw, allowing their exquisite flavor to shine through.
