Magaki(真牡蠣),Iwagaki(岩牡蠣)/Oyster
In Japan, there are various kinds of oyster which are classified into 2 general groups.
One is Magaki(真牡蠣). The other is Iwagaki(岩牡蠣).
The season of Magaki is from November to March in Winter.
Major Magaki-growing districts are Miyajima(宮島) and Matsushima(松島).
French oysters were damaged by disease in 1970s.
I heard Matsushima oysters were imported and used as seed.
The season of Iwagaki is from June to July in Summer.
Major Iwagaki-growing districts are Noto(能登) and Choshi(銚子).
A package of oysters, 6 - 8 pieces, sells for around 300yen to 400yen at supermarket.
As you know, Magaki/Iwagaki recipes are various: raw, baked, fried.
I list oyster bar name, price and map.
