Miyagi is a famous oysters producing area in Japan. However, much of its oyster farms were destroyed in the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami. The farmers are trying to get things going again. With the help of volunteers, they managed to salvage viable seedlings that managed to survive the tsunami. 2 years on, the industry is on track to a recovery. The photo shows 3 oysters harvested from 3 different areas along the Miyagi coast. Though from the same prefecture, they each have their individual unique taste and texture. In particular, oysters from Onagawa and Ishinomaki are very difficult to find outside of Japan. It is also not commonly found in other parts of Japan besides Miyagi. Matsushima oysters are more commonplace.
