Grown in the rich natural environment of Itoshima, Itoshima oysters are known for their mellow and sweet taste. There are many oyster barbecue huts located at five fishing harbors.
These huts are open only during the season, from the end of October to March or April. They are simple in construction—large vinyl tents filled with several dozen tables, each equipped with its own grill. You can enjoy a variety of seafood, including oysters, sazae (sea snails), prawns, and fish, all as fresh as can be. The hut provides the grill, tongs, cotton gloves, and other tools so you can try grilling your own seafood.
