Enjoy grilled oysters at oyster shacks for a limited time
Oyster shacks are simply made huts or tents where you can eat oysters that you grill right before your eyes. There are oyster shacks that are open from January through March around Hamanako, where you can taste grilled Lake Hamana oysters as well. You can dine on fluffy steamed oysters and/or oysters with natural sea salt straight from the grill while it's still hot.

How to Enjoy
- Order oysters in the shell at the counter, and after paying, receive your order slip.
- You slow-cook the oysters in the shell on the provided barbecue grill, then eat them. The oysters are only to be eaten hot, so please cook them thoroughly!
- They are extremely busy around lunch tarriving early!
How to Grill Oysters
- Place the oysters on the grill with the flat side down and cook for 4 to 5 minutes.
- When the moisture evaporates completely from the flat side of the shell, turn it over.
- Grill for about 8 to 10 minutes total until juice drips from the oyster's mouth.
※Cooking time varies depending on the thickness of the shell and meat, and the strength of the flame.
※In some cases, the shell does not open. - The oysters are to be eaten hot, so cook them thoroughly.
※Eating rare-cooked oysters by your own choice is done at your own risk. - Grill the oysters to your preferred level, then open the shells using gloves. Hot juices will come out, so be careful of burns. Use a knife to cut the shell ligament and twist them open.
※As a guideline for cooking, the shell ligament should lose its transparency, and the meat should be yellowish all over.
Marine products and seafood are also sold in the Kiraku-ichi.
