The latest in the apparently endless stream of opportunistically marketed moe goods are these allegedly delicious raw Japanese oysters (“kaki”), which are marketed with the rather incongruous aid of a schoolgirl on the tub.
Just why the manufacturers decided to eschew the more obvious choice of an “ama,” or traditional female pearl diver, often clad in gratuitously transparent clothing, is quite the mystery, although perhaps one easily solved considering the nature of their target audience…
A tub of raw oysters somehow seems a fitting nadir for this marketing trend.

I've always been worried about products with this stuff stamped all over it. What if they skipped out on quality and decided to sell it with moe females?
I admit though, that it would be kinda funny seeing thousands of otaku calling in for food poisoning.
This is just a way to grab our attention, is the product is shit they wont buy it again.
I prefer fermented shark or good piece of sei whale meat to oysters
It's almost like CHINA PACKAGING all over again.
Eww, those oysters are so.... dead, and numb. Not want.
Are these the moe-blobs I've been hearing so much about?
Oysters are nasty.
We sell cars with hot chicks, they sell oysters with cute schoolgirls.
wait...what? O.o
instead of moe crap,they should have used shuzo~
Well you gotta admit it to them, bad publicity or good publicity. The managed to get it...
"JUST AS PLANNED"
Doe the oysters have a black bar through them to hide the naughty bits? :)
They seem to have used the last resort method
Heeey, it's me it's me, ur fave moe... buy me buy me
not so moe.fail
Oysters bleh. No amount of moe will make me like them.
How about a little bit of moe I would like to call LSD?
Is it too late to say "it's getting out of control"?
It is . .
naw oysters= horney
If I eat these, will my boobs be as big as hers?
If you eat lots and lots of them.
Though a muffin top and fat rolls may also accompany them.
If you drink this then maybe .

I read that while drinking down my 4th pepsi max of the day. AWWWW YEAH.
school girl like oyster?
if they stuffed enough estrogen into them , then yes .
Now, that's an aphrodisiac I can get down with.
Crappy looking food comes with a shitty drawn picture...
Looks like this anon doesn't know the rich taste of raw oyster.
never seen an oyster before have we
ok, is my heart of coal here or does the girl on the box evoke absolutely nothing remotely moe?
I wouldn't call it moe. I'd call it a cartoon-woman with large breasts and long hair.
It reminded me vaguely of the central female character in Ikki Tousen.
Raw oysters can easily be converted into tasty oysters through the process of cooking.
What do oysters taste like?
Cooked, it tastes like clam (though it depends on how it's prepared).
Raw, it tastes like... a gooey substance that goes down smooth. Best served with a dash of lemon juice and tabasco sauce (like stated above by somebody).
basilio is right about using tabasco sauce. It's something i should've mentioned in my previous comment.
the reason tabasco works well is because it adds spiciness without adding extra flavors.
Any other hot sauce that works like tabasco would work well with oysters. I think most buffalo wing hot sauces are like that.
how about mayonnaise, mustard, or wasabi?
wasabi would work. i don't know about mustard but mayonnaise on raw oysters doesn't sound good to me.
since when was mayonnaise something that added spicy flavors..?
And I actually thought Clams are Oysters...
To me oysters doesnt taste that good, there are alot of other shell food that have more taste to it. If you eat oysters from its shell you will mainly just taste the salt. Well thats how the kind ive "fished" have been, i know there are some different kinds and maybe they taste better.
it taste like shit, I love the japanese and the stuff that make but they have terrible taste in food. I seen a japanese guy eat fried octopus balls
Hmmmm thanks to you, I suddenly became interested in the octopi reproduction system.
But also thanks to you, I found out that there are actually tentacles that shoot semen.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hectocotylus
Fun. Goes to show that tentacle rape is actually possible.
Awesome, now it's only a matter of time.....
Takoyaki?? Have you even tasted the octopus balls (double meaning if you understand the joke) to be saying its terrible?
Blood pudding isn't a common british food. And it's called black pudding. delicious fried, though.
if i can idenify the food i dont eat it, plus i dont think that those oysters look very good they look like disease ridden vagina lips
The hot dogs being the worst of them (If you only knew what was actually in them, and encasing them).
Yeah, Takoyaki is pretty good. I wonder if he thinks they are really testicles (note: Octopuses don't have them).
That said, some Japanese food does occasionally drift into the 'they must have been starving when they thought of eating this' category.
But then the French eat snails, they British eat blood pudding, and Americans eat hot dogs. :)
I hope you're kidding... Takoyaki is balls of octopus, not testicles, and they're so sweet... it's like a cross between pastry and candy. :D~~~
I think he didn't mean testicles... It was me who used his statement with double intentions
so you can tell us what shit tastes like?
hrm, how do you know this?
im scared of the ANON with attitude
grow up
you should know better then all of us, lick your self and you will find the answer you little piece of shit.
Magnificent
They taste like shit if you bite into them.
Just put some lemon juice plus hot sauce on them and swallow them.
