Palm-sized oysters - another great Street Food in Japan. Quite a "strong" and strangely familiar taste... filmed at Kuromon Market in Osaka, Japan ~ Price: 1,200 Yen = 11.50 USD
I gotta say I love his film style. It's really raw and makes me feel like I'm wandering through a seafood market in Japan. It really let's the culture come out and I really like that.
MONSTROUSLY DELICIOUS: The palm size raw oysters on the shell is a delicacy in Japan. I love them. Here in Manhattan, New York, the Kenka izakaya Japanese restaurant serves this tasty treat (two giant raw oysters on the shell) comes for one order. The menu states "Kaibutsu Namagaki" (Monster Raw Oysters). The intestine of this monster is huge and the flavor is also extremely rich. They also have very thick body fluid. You can not simply compare this to the common size oysters. If you love the oysters, then I highly recommend you taste it, too. It will make your day, I guarantee you! PS. I wrote a detailed review of the Kenka and the giant oyster for yelp. Unfortunately, they censored it. You can still see my photos & reviews outside of the yelp system.
I'm a New Orleans native and have been eating raw oysters my whole life. It was nice to see the Tabasco Pepper sauce being used in Japan. There really is nothing like a Louisiana hot sauce on a raw oyster, no matter where in the world you are.
Lol… I noticed the tabasco sauce right away!!! I’m on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and have a quart of fresh shucked oysters in my fridge as I write this!!! A splash of lemon 🍋 a splash of tobacco on a ritz cracker then a swig of cold beer to wash it down!!!! Ha 😜
I wonder how you like eating a raw animal..is it realllly tasty??? Don't you feel foul smell while eating?? Doesn't it stink???? This is a genuine question.. No offence
@@zebafatima5779 There's a reason why we eat oysters raw and its because of its freshness, flavour and no foul smell. Its the same as clams or mussels going bad, oysters must be fresh and can be eaten a couple of hours after death before it releases its toxic chemicals and begins decomposing, releasing those foul smells that you are thinking about. Then if you eat them, you'll get a chance of infections, diratheea and food poisoning. Humans don't eat them raw just because its cool, there's always a reason behind it.
What I really like with Japanese is that they're very hard working. And they used to offer what's best for their customers. Love to watch this videos regarding with their culture and places. 😘😘😘
usually when oysters come in contact with fresh water, it's gonna "absorb" the water and become tasteless when swollen. Since the large oyster in the video looks rather matured, I would say it must have a relatively powerful (if not too strong) taste to it. At the end of the day, I wouldn't say that the water have made much of a negative impact on the consumption experience, but rater enhances it since it lightens the taste. (Sorry for bad engrish)
Calvin Chan exactly....with all the shell fragments and sand, it probably was the smart thing to do. you don't need liquor with a mouthful of oyster that big.
@@ikon8275 that is so true. I 'harvested' buckets full of these Japanese oysters the other day, ones as large as this one and even larger ones, believe it or not. I can tell you that they are really hard to open uncooked and even when cooked chances are that fragments of the shell and other debree will get on to the oyster while opening the shell. Rinsing the oyster is the only way to get rid of the unwanted waste for sure. Who argues with a Japanese person about preparing Japanese seafood anyways? If I tell you that the Japanese know how to handle their seafood very well, that would be an understatement, wouldn't it be?
like drinking concentrated sea water but with not much salt, you know, that taste most shellfish have, that smell you get when you first eat a bit of it.
I don't know if this is only a brazilian practice or if it's disrespectful, but oysters taste SO much better with a lemon squeezed over it and some salt...
It's more disrespectful to eat the oyster with lemon and salt. You have to eat it raw at first to taste the saltness and creaminess of it then add what you want to add to your second oyster meal
I eat oyster on daily basis, once or twice a day. Recently I've been eating 3 times a day, I'd go to my friends place for lunch but unfortunately lunch break at her place had to stop cuz she says sge needs her naptime!
In Trinidad, we have it like a cocktail. It's served in a shot glass, mixed with home-made pepper sauce, salt, green seasonings, a small bit of ketchup. Then you basically take a large gulp and that's it. I'm not a huge fan, as I prefer conchs to oysters.
