Fan Lobster introduction

Fan Lobster (ウチワエビ, Uchiwa ebi) is known as a rare delicacy. True to its name, its head fans out like a traditional Japanese hand fan, giving it a distinctive and fascinating appearance. While its flat and compact shape might suggest otherwise, the lobster is packed with firm and flavorful meat, making it a satisfying treat. Its sweet and springy texture, paired with its rich umami flavor, makes it perfect for sashimi. You can also enjoy its deep, savory taste through methods like sake steaming, grilling, or boiling with salt. It's a versatile treasure of the sea!
