In the summer, people come to Itoshima for its sandy beaches and warm waters, but now it\u2019s winter, and everyone\u2019s here for the oyster huts! It\u2019s a DIY barbeque featuring oysters, other seafood, and local veggies. And at about \u00a51,000\/kg of oysters, it\u2019s a bargain too! Use Fukuoka Now\u2019s guide to Itoshima\u2019s 26 oyster huts and have a ball! www.fukuoka-now.com\/oysters<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"Oysters grow on ropes suspended below rafts in the bay of Kishi Port.<\/em><\/p>\n

Shinichiro Ueno is the owner of the Toyohisamaru<\/a> Oyster Hut in Kishi Port. He\u2019s a second-generation fisherman, and in 2000 his family began growing oysters, and they opened Toyohisamaru the following year. Ueno took us by boat out to his oyster rafts to see how they are grown and harvested. We got to eat some too!<\/p>\n

While many producers begin with pre-seeded calm shells sourced from outside Itoshima, Ueno begins the 12-month process from scratch in Itoshima\u2019s clean and mineral-rich waters. His brand \u201cMilk Gaki\u201d is true to its name \u2013 milky rich and creamy! Try them at Toyohisamaru.<\/p>\n
