This pure white species of shrimps are called the “jewels of Toyama Bay”. They are extremely small so it takes a lot of painstaking deshelling of several shiro ebi to construct a shiro ebi sushi. The shiro ebi had a very clean and crisp flavor with a subtle hint of sweetness, the mildness of its flesh can be compared to squid, except that the shiro ebi’s texture is a lot softer with a buttery viscosity.
