White Shrimp Burger introduction
The White Shrimp (白エビ, Shiroebi), a renowned seafood delicacy from Toyama Prefecture, is recognized alongside Firefly Squid and Yellowtail as one of "Toyama's prized fish." Known for its natural sweetness and melt-in-your-mouth texture, White Shrimp has a tender shell that can be eaten whole, making it a nutrient-rich choice packed with calcium, potassium, and magnesium. These small shrimps, measuring around 5 to 8 cm, are found only in waters around Japan and spend their lives swimming in deep-sea environments between 100 and 500 meters. Their lifespan is around 2 to 2.5 years. As a beloved local specialty, White Shrimp is enjoyed in various forms such as tempura, fried dishes, dashi broth, and sashimi. It has long been cherished by the people of Toyama. The White Shrimp Burger is a creative dish made using these “jewels of Toyama Bay.” Featured in numerous TV programs, it has gained attention as a must-try gourmet treat.
