◉ Charcoal Grilled Scarlet Scallops with Toasted & Melted Miso Cheese Butter
The scarlet scallop, known for its vivid red shell, is a rare type of shellfish primarily found in Japanese waters. It is treasured as a gourmet ingredient for its beautiful appearance and flavor. The meat is tender and has a unique sweetness, making it suitable for a variety of dishes. Scarlet scallops are extremely delicate; they can only survive for about a day after being caught and are difficult to cultivate in aquariums. Therefore, they are rarely distributed far from their place of origin and are considered very rare. Dishes using butter or miso are popular ways to enhance the flavor of scarlet scallops, making them a recommended delicacy for special occasions.
◎緋扇貝の味噌チーズバター焦がし炭火焼
緋扇貝（ひおうぎがい）は、その鮮やかな赤色の殻で知られる希少な貝類です。主に日本の海域に生息し、その美しい見た目と味わいから高級食材として珍重されています。肉質は柔らかく、独特の甘みがあり、様々な料理で楽しめます。緋扇貝は非常に繊細で、水揚げ後は約1日しか生存できず、水槽での育成も困難です。このため、産地から遠い市場にはほとんど流通しておらず、非常に希少です。特にバターや味噌を使った料理で人気があり、特別な日の食卓を彩る一品としてもおすすめです。

Question We were Often asked:
- Q: Why a toy seller is on the radio and introducing local Japan?
- A: Good Question! For over one decade, we have made many friends and customers abroad, and we want them ( and YOU!) to know all the tokusatsu films, shows, and toys are enriched by Japanese unique culture and history. If you have any tokusatsu toys, we want you to explore beyond the toys and one day meet with us here in Japan, where all Tokusatsu stories started. We are CSTOYS, but not just toys ;D
