About Amabe
Premium single-seed oysters grown by Re:Blue in Nasa Bay off Kaiyo, Tokushima, in water clear enough to support coral. Deliberately small so each is a single mouthful, rolled free in submerged baskets into a round, jewel-like shape.
In plain words: clean, fresh, rich, complex, plump, with salt bomb salt.
