Post caption
I’ve covered Botan Ebi and Ama Ebi before but this shrimp is a bit different. You won’t typically see this shrimp served raw. It’s true beauty is revealed when it is cooked. That’s when it really comes to life.
have you tried Kuruma Ebi?

Rumaeve or Japanese Tier Prawn is one shrimp that is rarely served raw. It's naturally firm with a clean flavor that becomes sweeter and more tender when it's warm. Unlike botanabe or amaeve, this shrimp comes to life only when it's cooked.
