Serving Tip
These oysters with a light, Japanese-inspired dressing are fresh, elegant, and full of umami. The combination of ponzu, lime, and mirin provides just the right tang, while cucumber, persimmon, and edible flower petals add color and refinement. A perfect party starter — pure, bright, and surprisingly delicate in flavor. Serve the oysters on crushed ice to keep them ice-cold and extra refreshing.
Storage Tip
The dressing can be prepared in advance; shuck the oysters only right before serving.
