These are extra-large prawns, a delicacy in Japanese cooking and a favorite for sashimi, where the sweetness harmonizes with well-seasoned shari (sushi rice). Each box holds 21–24 large botan ebi, 2.2 lbs in all, sourced from the cold waters of Hokkaido or Canada depending on supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"seto-p\"\u003eThe appeal is the sweetness and the soft, almost creamy texture of the raw flesh — richer and sweeter than a cooked shrimp, closer to amaebi but larger and meatier.
