In the waters of Akkeshi, there is fog. The humid air and cold tides slowly nurture the rich flavor of the oysters. Each carefully cultivated "Kakiemon" begins to tell the rich memories of the sea with every bite. When paired with Akkeshi whiskey, which is also matured in fog and time, the moment arrives when the sea and land become one. This is a story of Eastern Hokkaido gastronomy that deeply permeates the hearts of travelers.
