A rare delicacy best enjoyed in Tottori
About Mosa Ebi (locally caught shrimp)
In Tottori, Kurozakoebi shrimp are called “Mosa ebi” and are caught by offshore bottom trawlers from September to May. Their season overlaps with crab season for much of the year, so they tend to remain under the radar. They have a firm texture and rich umami, and are sweeter than amaebi (sweet shrimp). Because they lose their freshness quickly, shipping them to distant areas is difficult, making Mosa ebi a rare shrimp that is best enjoyed locally.
