I tried Sakura Ebi Kamameshi (Sakura shrimp kettle rice) at a traditional Japanese restaurant in Shizuoka, and it was delicious.
The rice is cooked in a kettle with Sakura Ebi (small pink shrimp) and topped with shredded egg. The texture of the rice was perfectly soft yet not mushy, infused with the rich aroma of the Sakura Ebi. The flavor was simply delightful. I was impressed by this dish because this was my first time eating Sakura Ebi.
The restaurant was run by an elderly couple, a husband and wife, whose hospitality and culinary skills made the experience even more special. It was a pleasure to enjoy such a wonderful dish in their care. (The picture below is the old-style menu which is difficult to read)
Looks delicious!! In Shizuoka, there are a lot of delicious and famous seafood, including Sakura Ebi. Now I really want to visit Shizuoka...
ReplyDeleteYes! I do agree with you. There are a lot of delicious food and breathtaking scenery. Please visit Shizuoka once.
DeleteSakura ebi，it's sound like a delicious dish. Dose it have sakura flavor？Sakura blooms around April, so it feels more fitting to enjoy it in the spring.
ReplyDeleteIf I'm not mistaken, Sakura from Sakura ebi comes from the color so I don't think there is a Sakura flavor in Sakura ebi. I have never eaten it in the spring but your idea looks interesting.
