[Miyagi] Matsushima gourmet food is all about oysters! A charming restaurant where you can eat for just 1,000 yen

Matsushima oysters are in season every year from October to March. They are known for their plump yet firm oysters, which are highly nutritious, thanks to the abundant minerals carried by the rivers that flow into Matsushima Bay.
Matsushima, one of Miyagi Prefecture's leading tourist destinations, is lined with restaurants where you can enjoy delicious oysters.
I'm very curious to know how they are enjoyed!

Matsushima Fish Market "Matsushima Oyster Burger"

Matsushima Fish Market, which boasts a wide selection of seafood and delicacies delivered directly from the source, also has a restaurant. One of
the specialties here is the Matsushima Oyster Burger, a croquette sandwiched between Matsushima oysters and béchamel sauce. You'll definitely be impressed by the crispy cream croquette. They
also pay special attention to the buns, which are made with rice flour from Miyagi Prefecture.
Despite the generous portion size, it's reasonably priced at just 350 yen.
