Kelly Oysters
53.19°N, 8.94°W — Ireland — Galway Bay
Situated in a small inlet of Galway Bay, in Kilcolgan, the Kelly Oyster farm is gently tucked in-between the ancient Burren Mountains and the hills of Connemara. In this picture-perfect, protected setting, their oysters bask in waters that combine the very best of the Atlantic tide with the sweet waters of the dramatic limestone Burren, the peaty Connemara bogs and the rich fields of Athenry.
It’s a unique recipe that makes for a totally singular taste. It’s a total sensory experience – a taste that opens and unfolds as you eat a Kelly Oyster. Like the ocean, it seduces you, until you may indeed believe you hold in your mouth the very essence of the ocean.

Amabe Oysters
33.58°N, 134.3°E — Japan — Nasa Bay, Tokushima
Japanese Amabe Oysters are cultivated by Re:Blue, who are working to reform Japan’s fisheries industry through smart aquaculture oyster farming. They are one of the few companies in Japan that is engaged in the entire process of oyster farming, from the production of sterile triploid seed oysters to the cultivation and sale of mature oysters.
Amabe Oysters are cultivated in Nasa Bay in Tokushima Prefecture, a scenic area officially designated as part of the Anan–Muroto Sea Area National Park. It is one of only a few areas in Japan that formerly supplied the imperial court with fishery products – thereby earning the right to use the name “Amabe".
Japanese Amabe Oysters
Taste: refreshing in summer, full-bodied in winter.Amabe Oysters, which are grown in the beautiful sea, are available all year round. In the summer they have a refreshing taste that even people who don’t like oysters can enjoy, and as the season progresses, the flavour becomes firmer and richer from winter to early spring. The peak production of these oysters in Honshu is from late autumn to early spring. This is the season for oysters. As the season progresses, the rich, creamy flavour typical of oysters becomes stronger.
