The bounty of the sea, condensed into a single pearl. A luxurious experience of rich, creamy oysters.

Among the ingredients nurtured by Japan's vast seas, oysters captivate people with their rich umami and creamy texture.

Hiroshima Prefecture, embraced by the calm Seto Inland Sea, is particularly known as a leading oyster producing region in Japan. Hiroshima oysters, grown in nutrient-rich seawater, retain their plumpness even when cooked, and are characterized by a rich flavor that bursts forth the moment they are savored.

At "Wanosyoku," we have created five unique dishes, born from the power of these oysters and crafted with the skill of artisans.

What we deliver from our main store in Osaka's Kizu Wholesale Market is not merely preserved food, but "a dish" that encapsulates the bounty of Japan's seas.

The artisan's gaze, facing each oyster

In Wanosyoku's kitchen, the process begins with selecting ingredients. Artisans carefully handle the oysters that arrive from Hiroshima, assessing their condition each day by hand.

Handling the delicate flesh, which would be damaged by mechanical processing, with the tenderness of fingertips. This intervention of "human hands" is the first step in drawing out the inherent power of the ingredients.

Upholding cooking methods that bring out the original essence of the ingredients. This is one of our "Three Promises of Wanosyoku" and an expression of our quiet confidence as a brand.

 

Five Oyster Stories, Each with Its Own Character

We offer five variations of oysters, all derived from a single ingredient, to suit various dining occasions.

 

 

Oyster Clear Soup: Features a whole Hiroshima oyster. Crafted with dashi stock patiently prepared by artisans, along with tofu, wakame, and shiitake mushrooms. Simply heat in hot water and transfer to a bowl for an authentic Japanese culinary experience.

 

 

Oyster Miso Paste: The creamy umami of oysters is condensed into a rich paste with savory miso. Perfect as a topping for rice, a dip for vegetables, or a sauce for pasta, it delivers a powerful flavor.

 

 

Oyster Ajillo: Oysters are simmered in garlic-infused olive oil to seal in their savory broth. The oyster flavor infused into the oil pairs excellently with bread and wine.

 

 

Oyster Hot Pot: A spicy dish that enhances the sweetness and umami of oysters using Ishigakijima chili sauce. Its robust flavor is perfect with rice and brings a new surprise to everyday meals.

 

 

Oyster Cream Sauce: A harmonious blend of mild white sauce and rich oysters, making it a favorite even for children. Just mix with pasta for a luxurious cream pasta.
