I don't know about mussels much, I will "google japan" it later 
Thank you and have a nice weekend! |
Oysters have a lot of minerals in them that are hard to get from other things, like zinc (亜鉛) and selenium (セレニウム). They're quite good for you!
You can probably only get New Zealand Green Lip mussels in Japan (

and they have a mild, creamy taste. I like to steam them with a little wine and olive oil, and eat them with nothing but some bread. Like sakemushi clams!
Do you like seafood much, yumyum?

Wow, that's mean. On the other hand, the supermarket should have just been honest that it sold bad oysters.
