The best season to eat true oysters raw is from November till April. In summer and autumn,
frozen oysters that require heating would be sold at markets.
With continuous research to find a solution in providing true oysters that can be eaten raw all
year round, Yuwa Fishery decided to implement a special freezing technique “DENBA+” that
can maintain the freshness of oysters.
As a result, you can now enjoy the delicious, ocean-fresh ‘Kitaki-kaki’ Oysters all year round.
