From the Japanese translation for "Ultimate", this small, deeply cupped Pacific oyster is grown to mimic the outstanding characteristics of the Kumamoto oyster, although they are tray grown in a very unique process in the rich waters of Deep Bay off of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. While they are tray raised, they are tumbled regularly to take the length out of the growth, causing the oyster to grower deeper in profile. This effort creates a consistently deepcupped, very meaty little oyster, appealing to beginner oyster eaters and old pros alike.
