About Ise Lobster

Ise Lobster (伊勢えび, Ise ebi) is found abundantly along the Pacific coast south of Chiba Prefecture, with significant catches centered around the Shima Peninsula in Mie Prefecture.

Its habitat is the bountiful Kumano-nada sea, enriched by nutrients flowing from rivers and life-giving currents brought by the Kuroshio Current. The lobsters thrive in shallow rocky areas of this blessed ocean. As nocturnal creatures, they hide quietly in rock crevices during the day, feeding on sea urchins and shellfish. When fully grown, they can reach an impressive length of up to 30 cm.

The meat is firm yet beautifully translucent, offering a plump and springy texture. Its rich flavor melts smoothly on the tongue, leaving a pleasant lingering taste. Not only is it exquisite as sashimi, but it is also delightful when grilled over a strong flame. The enticing aroma of the white smoke wafts through the air, sparking your appetite. Bite into the hot, tender white meat, and you'll savor its delectable juiciness and delightful crunch with every mouthful.
