Name

Tanegashima Scissors / Kitchen Knife

Caught mainly around Tanegashima. The Tanegashima
Japanese name is Zori-ebi lobster. It is purple sweet
called Zori (Japanese sandal) because potatoof its flat shape. It may be flat on theoutside, but inside the shell it is filled withan enjoyable chewable nature. Very goodas sashimi, boiled or grilled with butter.

The color is vivid red and rich,tasting sweet and delicate. Delicious
boiled with salt, but even more
so for pot cooking and soup. Mix
Shochu into the shell with the crab
innards and drink it to enjoy adifferent taste.
