Now, more than a decade later, the town is still working on recovery efforts. In this award-winning Eat! Meet! Japan experience, Shizuka and Cheesie met the people of Minamisanriku working hard on recovering the local gastronomic economy.<\/p>\n<p>Shizuka and Cheesie go out on a boat to harvest local oysters, famous across Japan for their fresh taste. After the boat adventure, they explore the local winery and learn how to properly shuck oysters. The day ends with a meal of fresh oysters, paired wines, and a lovely meal of local ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>What is Eat! Meet! Japan?<br \/>\nEat! Meet! Japan is a project that recognizes and promotes the best Japanese food experiences nationwide. Commissioned by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (MAFF), the project provides an environment where tourists can enjoy unique Japanese food experiences even after multiple visits to Japan. Eat! Meet! Japan brings people together through food and provides a window into the culture of the areas represented.
