What the creator captured
Luke Martin was impressed by the plumpness and natural sweetness of the steamed Matsushima Bay oysters, noting they were better than those in Hiroshima. He found the traditional farming process fascinating, especially how the industry recovered after the tsunami using 'mother oysters' and recycled scallop shells. His most memorable moment was the sheer scale of the all-you-can-eat experience, which he described as climbing 'oyster Mount Everest'.
