”Suttu”　Kotobuki　Oyster

Next to sea urchins on the Shakotan Peninsula, I would like to introduce "Kotobuki Kaki," (special kind of oystar)which is farming in "Suttu".
It seems that the Raiden Kaigan once had a lot of herring fishing before 100 years, and the "herring palace" was also lined up on sea side, but there is a history that the town has declined due to poor herring fishing throughout the Sea of Japan. ‥
A nostalgic area that traces past prosperity. However, the "oyster banya"(Fishermans restaurant) became a hot spot and the special product, Kotobuki, is also called the milk of the sea, and the steamed oyster is the best! The oysters that are shipped in the summer are precious and must be tasted.
