Kimi-chan is a super nice friend of mine in Hiroshima, and out of the blue — meaning completely unexpectedly — she sent me and Hero Material a big box of oysters from her father's award-winning farm in Ootake-Shi, Hiroshima Prefecture (Mukai Suisan). The box contained one big bag of shelled oysters and ten oysters in shells.

Look at the picture below for the quality of the delish oysters! (Note the size and color. They're exceptionally juicy and flavorful. FYI — I'm the one holding the oyster, and my hand isn't small by any means. [wedding band size ~6])

Once you try them from her father's farm, you never want to eat other oysters. Arigatou, Kimi-chan! :wub:
