Samurai Gold Raw Triploid Pacifica Oysters in Shell (Sakoshi, Hyogo)

Each oyster is raised with care and devotion. Perfect for grilling, steamed with ponzu, or oyster gratin.

What is Samurai Gold?

Triploid oysters are created through biotechnology, carrying three sets of chromosomes instead of the usual two. Unlike regular Pacific oysters that reproduce through spawning, triploid oysters are sterile and cannot reproduce. This allows year-round cultivation.

Because triploid oysters don’t expend energy on reproduction, they grow faster and stronger, resulting in healthier, meatier oysters. They are raised in plastic baskets at estuary locations, fed on plankton and algae in nutrient-rich environments, producing oysters of consistent quality and size.

Both varieties feature a salty, subtly sweet flavor with a thick, firm texture.

Recommended Serving

Grilled, steamed with ponzu, oyster gratin, or raw with lemon.
