Product details
Tatsuriki Oyster’s Friend is inspired by the natural harmony between land, river, and sea in Hyogo’s Harima region. Created by the renowned Tatsuriki label under Honda Shoten, this expression reflects a deep respect for place, drawing character from the pristine waters of the Ibo River. The same river nourishes the rice fields inland and flows onward to Harima Nada, where nutrient-rich currents support some of Japan’s most celebrated oysters. Designed specifically to complement these coastal delicacies, Oyster’s Friend is defined by clarity, balance, and a clean, food-focused profile that highlights freshness and gentle sweetness without overpowering the table.
The aroma opens softly with a hint of ripe banana and a delicate natural sweetness that feels smooth and inviting. On the palate, this rounded character enhances ocean-forward flavors, allowing briny notes to feel fuller and more refined. A lively, refreshing acidity—distinctive to Shinriki rice—brings lift and precision, finishing clean with a subtle mineral touch. The result is a crisp yet harmonious experience that pairs beautifully with oysters and other dishes featuring oceanic salinity, enhancing both the food and the moment with effortless balance.
