Sobre este ingrediente
Japanese tiger prawn (Marsupenaeus japonicus) — a sushi / tempura premium classic. Aquaculture in Yamaguchi (Akamizu Bay), Kumamoto, and Ehime produces the principal commercial supply; wild-harvest in Tokyo Bay and Seto Inland Sea adds smaller volumes. Distinguished from imported tiger prawns by characteristic stripe pattern and richer umami. Used live-shipped for sashimi (odori-ebi), grilled, tempura, and as a feedstock for chitin / chitosan supplement extraction. Distinct from existing shellfish entries.
