Sakura shrimp

Sakura shrimp introduction

Sakura shrimp is a precious seafood caught only in Suruga Bay and Taiwan in the world, and it is also called the “jewel of Suruga Bay” because of its clear, glossy, sakura-colored appearance. There are two types of sakura shrimp fishing: spring fishing (late March to early June) and fall fishing (late October to late December), which are landed at Yui Port (Shizuoka City) and Oigawa Port (Yaizu City). Since you can eat all of the shell and internal organs of sakura shrimp, you can easily ingest a very large amount of calcium. Since no preparation is required, you can easily use it for various dishes such as sakura shrimp kakiage and sakura shrimp sashimi! It is also rich in dietary fiber, so it is a specialty of Suruga Bay that is perfect for beauty and health.
