This time, we invited the oyster owners and took them on a tour together.

About the tour
The contents of this tour were as follows:
<<Tour Contents>>
・Visit to an oyster farm (on board)
・Watch the owner grow oysters ・Eat oysters on the boat ・Experience polishing oysters ・Watch sake aged under the sea
Visit to an oyster farm
Etsuo, the producer of Uzushio Champion, gave us an explanation about oysters and oyster farming.
Because Etsu has tried all of the current oyster farming methods, he was able to learn information about a variety of oysters!
A tour of the owner's oysters
We had a chance to look around the oysters grown by the current owners of Uzushio Champion Single Seed.
Eating oysters on a boat
We had Sugi try the single-seeded oysters we had just landed on the spot!
This was very moving for all those who attended.
I think it was a unique experience!
Oyster polishing experience
We had the experience of polishing the oysters that we had just landed.
If you visit during the oyster harvest season, you will be able to have this experience!
Observing underwater aging of alcohol
The highlight of this event is undersea aged sake!
Owners can sink their favorite alcoholic beverages to the bottom of the ocean (bottle-keeping system).
There were oysters stuck to the bottles, which suggested that the oysters were maturing beneath the oyster rafts.
The taste was also amazing, so if you're interested, why not become an owner now?
Thank you to everyone who participated!
