"First Oysters from Tongyeong Arrive"... GS Supermarket Sells Fresh Oysters for Sashimi

GS Supermarket will start selling freshly harvested raw oysters for sashimi from the 6th of this month.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] GS Supermarket announced on the 5th that it will start selling freshly harvested raw oysters for sashimi from the 6th of this month.

Fresh oysters are generally distributed and sold after the first harvest ceremony (a ritual praying for a bountiful harvest and safety) is held in the production area around mid-October. GS Supermarket collaborated with its partners to conduct preliminary safety inspections, shortening the preparation period to be the first to sell fresh and safe raw oysters.

The oysters being shipped this time are medium-sized, perfect for one bite and ideal for sashimi. In November this year, GS Supermarket plans to focus on handling small oysters in line with the kimchi-making season. To celebrate the first shipment, GS Supermarket will sell 250g bags of oysters at a discounted price when paid with event cards until the 12th.

A GS Retail official said, “We thoroughly prepared in advance to supply oysters, which are called the ginseng of the sea for their health benefits, and increased the purchase volume significantly this year thanks to growing popularity every year. We will continuously check freshness and prepare a variety of seasonal seafood so that customers can enjoy them with peace of mind.”
