Fresh Oysters and Local Wine! Using Gastronomy to Rebuild Tohoku After the 2011 Tsunami



Join this experience on byFood: https://www.byfood.com/experiences/revitalizing-minamisanriku-fresh-oysters-and-wine-tour-622

In 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake devastated the town of Minamisanriku in Miyagi prefecture. Now, more than a decade later, the town is still working on recovery efforts. In this award-winning Eat! Meet! Japan experience, Shizuka and Cheesie met the people of Minamisanriku working hard on recovering the local gastronomic economy.

Shizuka and Cheesie go out on a boat to harvest local oysters, famous across Japan for their fresh taste. After the boat adventure, they explore the local winery and learn how to properly shuck oysters. The day ends with a meal of fresh oysters, paired wines, and a lovely meal of local ingredients.

    Glad you were able to come out of your shell and try the oysters! As a personal aside, I didn't understand wine whatsoever in my early 20's. Then I paired a good Cabernet with an incredible steak. In that one mouthful, I suddenly understood the universe. Thanks as always, Shizuka!

    I was in Miyagi prefecture 2 months ago, and seeing the Japanese snow fall brings back lots of happy memories, it hits me in all the good feels. Thanks for another great video!

    I'm surprised by the appearance of the meal… it doesn't seem to be Japanese influences, and instead looks more Mediterranean or even French. What happend? 🙀🙀Regardless, I would love to try it myself, especially in the company of Shizuka and Cheesie who made everything more charming and enjoyable in this video!

    Absolutely wonderful video, I am so jealous of all the oysters you tried, and the wine looked delicious! Thank you for sharing this experience! 😊😋
