River Shrimp (Tenaga Ebi)

River Shrimp (Tenaga Ebi) introduction

River shrimp (川エビ, Tenaga Ebi) are a treasured gift from the pristine rivers of Kochi Prefecture. Harvested from rivers such as the Shimanto River and Niyodo River from spring to summer, these shrimp are known for their extraordinarily long claws, which have given them the name "Tenaga Ebi" (Long-armed shrimp). These shrimp are often enjoyed deep-fried or simmered, delivering a rustic, rich flavor that evokes the serene beauty of their natural surroundings with every bite. Caught using the traditional techniques of river fishermen, these freshwater delicacies reflect the rich natural environment and cultural heritage of Kochi. A taste of Tenaga Ebi offers an authentic glimpse into the timeless food traditions of Tosa.
