Open only during the winter and spring seasons, this seafood hotspot is directly run by a local fishery, Yutaro Suisan, and offers a wide range of oyster dishes, from raw to steamed, fried, and even oyster rice bowls.

Operating Season: January to mid-May
Especially from March to May, oysters are at their very best!
