Kumamotos are in fact, quite small, only slightly larger than the tiny Olympia oyster. With its deep cupping and highly sculptured, fluted shell, this smooth, fruity morsel makes it a favorite of half-shell connoisseurs. Kumamoto oysters were brought to the US in the late 1940's as an experiment to replace the troubled native Olympia.
