Kuruma Ebi Tiger Prawn Nagasaki 6pcs

Kuruma Ebi (車海老) is Japan's most celebrated Tiger Prawn — sourced from Nagasaki, where the clean coastal waters produce shrimp of exceptional size, sweetness, and texture. The name "Kuruma" (wheel) refers to the prawn's distinctive curved shape when cooked. At kaiseki restaurants and high-end sushi counters, Kuruma Ebi is served live or just-killed for maximum sweetness and snap.

The firm, sweet flesh and beautiful striped shell make Kuruma Ebi as visually striking as it is delicious — a showpiece ingredient that signals quality at any table.

Serve as sashimi (odori-ebi style), nigiri, or tempura. For sashimi, remove the head and shell, leaving the tail, and serve immediately with soy sauce. The head can be deep-fried for a crispy, flavorful bonus. Also excellent grilled with salt or in a light dashi broth.

Pairs well with: cold junmai ginjo sake, or a crisp, dry champagne.
