About Sumo Kumo

The larger, more refined sibling of Taylor Shellfish's classic Kumamoto, grown from the same mid-century heirloom Kumo seed in Chapman Cove in southern Puget Sound but left to mature four to six years, twice the age of a standard Kumamoto.

In plain words: sweet, melon, citrus, lightly briny, rich, with balanced salt.
