This type of oyster is so popular in the oyster industry that many people say they prefer rock oysters to true oysters.

The characteristic of rock oysters is that they are bigger than true oysters!

Maruhachi's rock oysters are no exception. However, compared to other giant rock oysters, we intentionally made them a little smaller.

This is to reduce the harshness and create a refreshing taste.

How to shuck an oyster

Hold the knife slightly above and to the right of the center of the oyster and stab it gently.
If you hold the knife horizontally and apply too much force, the knife may slip and cause injury.
