Oysters: Izakaya Kitsune's Commitment to Oysters [Tenma x Oysters] Izakaya Kitsune Tenma

The Harimanada coast of the Seto Inland Sea is one of Japan's leading oyster producing areas, and Sakoshi in Ako is one of the best places for cultivated oysters.

While maintaining the qualities of the one-year oyster, which has few of the peculiar edges and peculiarities of oysters, the oyster's size is comparable to two- and three-year oysters from other regions by limiting the amount of production.

Samurai Oyster" is a brand name product of the large oysters hand-selected and packaged by a long-established fishery wholesaler among the cultured oysters from Koshigaraki.

Although it is intended for raw consumption, nothing but seawater from the oyster is added during production to prevent blistering, and the meat does not shrink easily even when cooked.

Our restaurant offers a wide variety of menu items using such top quality oysters, "Samurai Oysters". We are proud to offer them to you.

◆Background of Birth
The name alone, "Oyster Butter," may cause many to look twice and say, "Oysters and butter?" Many people may look twice.
In fact, this "unexpected combination" is the greatest attraction of this product.
Oysters have always been called the "milk of the sea," so rich in nutrients and flavor,
It was also true that some people shied away from its distinctive aroma and the time and effort required to prepare it.

This is why we have focused on the "mildness" and "creamy richness" of butter.
Daring to melt oyster extract into butter makes it easy to eat even for those who do not like oysters,
We believe that we can create an item that oyster lovers can enjoy the "richness of flavor" to the fullest.
With this in mind, we made a number of prototypes, and this "oyster butter" was born.

◆More versatile than butter
Butter is something I use a lot in the first place, but is it worth the trouble to order it?"
Some may think that this is a good idea.
Oyster butter, however, is more than just "butter"; it is an "all-purpose seasoning" packed with oyster-derived flavor.

Since it is saltier and richer than regular butter, it can be used simply to finish or season dishes to give them a professional taste.

◆Easy to match with any dishes
▼ Spread on bread or crackers
Spread it directly on toast or baguette, and your breakfast or brunch will instantly become a luxurious experience.

▼Add to stir-fry or sauté
Just add a dash to stir-fry vegetables, sautéed meats and seafood, and enjoy a restaurant-style taste.

For pasta and risotto
Just by twirling it at the end, the sauce is transformed into a creamy and deep sauce.

▼Compatible with Japanese food
It also goes surprisingly well with Japanese food, such as a dash of it on ochazuke, dissolved in miso soup or broth, or spread on grilled onigiri (rice balls).
