Hello from Kushiro

Hello from Kushiro, Hokkaido, where a few hours ago I became a raw oyster lover. That's bad news for the couple dozen oysters I just downed, but I'm pretty happy about it.

Phill and I finally gathered the courage to try oysters last weekend - and we chickened out by having Oysters Kilpatrick! I don't know how I would go with a raw one ... that's on our to-do list though! :D

I love eating oysters, but even now they still remind me of my childhood bedtime reading:

That is about the freshest looking oyster I have ever seen! Hope it tasted as good. A squeeze of lemon and down the hatch! Must get to Hokkaido one day for the sea food alone.

Looks absolutely delish. I love oysters so much I feel like I could eat them to extinction (which would be awful)!

OMG so jealous...

It still looks a little strange for food

Love your pictures of Hokkaido in the summer, looks a lot more inviting than wintertime!
