These shrimps are rich in flavor and very sweet. They are about 10cm (3.9”) in length. Their habitat is in the sea near the Ishikawa Prefecture and by the Hokkaido Prefecture.
They are mostly eaten in sashimi or sushi dishes. Their sweet texture melts in the mouth. The broths are often reused for dishes that can take advantage of their subtle flavor after making a boiled dish. Japanese radish or wheat-gluten, just to name a few.
