Fresh Oysters


I went on a family trip last week. First we went to the Munakata Shrine. It's well known as a shrine where prayers for traffic safety are especially effective.

After that, we went to the Oyster House, "Kakigoya". It was a restaurant where we can eat fresh oysters. The house is made of vinyl, like a plastic hothouse.
We ate oysters, Yesso scallops and turban shells. The food was great. It was all so fresh because we could eat them as soon as the fisherman caught them. The restaurant is right on the seashore. When we grilled the oysters, some of them suddenly exploded and the soup flew up dirtying my clothes and face. I should have worn clothes that I didn't mind getting dirty.
Anyway, the food was really great and I want to go there again.
