Just as the name suggests, amaebi has an elegant sweetness (‘ama’ means sweet in Japanese).
Amaebi is found along the Japan Sea coast from Toyama Bay northward, and on Hokkaido coasts. They are about 10 cm long and live up to 1000 meters deep in the sea and spawn once every two years.
The umami increases from autumn to winter and the egg-retention period is from January to February. This is the time to try the blue-green eggs and this new arrival is the best time to purchase komochi amaebi from us!
Serving Suggestion
The sweet component mainly consists of glycine, a type of amino acid. The stickiness comes from the high glycoprotein content. There is also a high moisture content so when the shrimp is boiled, the body shrinks and the texture isn’t very pleasant. Therefore, it should be eaten raw with wasabi-soy sauce or prepared as a raw sushi topping.
ALSO AVAILABLE, 3L SIZING
