White Shrimp
Small, translucent bodies of pale pink shimmer brilliantly on the plate. When picked up with chopsticks and brought to the mouth, they cling stickily to the tongue, eventually melting away as an elegant, deep sweetness gradually spreads—this is the 'Jewel of Toyama Bay,' the white shrimp. With a body length of only 5 to 8 centimeters, they swarm in the deep submarine canyons of Toyama Bay. This bay is considered the only place in the country where they can be caught in large enough quantities to sustain a fishing industry. Because they lose freshness easily, sashimi made from peeled shrimp is a true local delicacy. When prepared as kakiage (tempura fritters), the batter becomes crispy and fragrant, releasing an abundance of sweet umami with every bite. Meltingly tender as sashimi, or crispy as kakiage. Within each tiny shrimp, the sweetness of the sea is tightly packed.
