Oysters steamed with touches of sake brings out the best of the light, mineral-like flavors of this sake. Also, the faint bitterness that remains in the aftertaste of Karoyaka deepens the punchy and complex flavors of the oysters.

The mellow yet light taste of Karoyaka goes well with the faint umami and sweetness of squids and octopus. The light acidity of Karoyaka, when combined with juice of citrus fruit, creates a synergetic effect, and compliments the refreshing taste of olive oil, used to marinade seafoods.
