Kami no Ebi (神の海老) - The God of Prawn ( Live Frozen )

It takes immense confidence and pride for Japanese artisans to name a product "God-like." Kami no Ebi earns this title, representing the pinnacle of thirty years of prawn cultivation expertise. These are not just any prawns; they are a culinary experience designed to redefine your expectation of flavour and texture.

A Taste Beyond Compare

When compared to the familiar live tiger prawn, the difference in Kami no Ebi is immediate and profound.

• The Flavour Profile: While live tiger prawns are valued for their satisfyingly firm meat, their flavour is often mild and straightforward. Kami no Ebi, in contrast, delivers a more complex and memorable taste. Cultivated in unique, high-salinity seawater (4-5% vs the typical 2-3%), these prawns develop a scientifically-proven, deeper flavour profile. You will notice a powerful wave of savoury umami—about 1.5 times more than conventional prawns—balanced by a clean, natural sweetness and a subtle brininess from the sea.
• The Texture: Through a specialized, 100% seawater aquaculture process, these prawns grow slower, larger, and plumper. This results in a signature texture that is both dense and tender, with a satisfying "snap" that is often sought but rarely found.

The Secret is in the Process

The superior quality of Kami no Ebi is no accident. It is the result of a meticulous process designed to lock in perfection.

• Peak Freshness, Frozen: The term "fresh" can be misleading. A prawn that has been sitting on ice for days is not at its best. Kami no Ebi are harvested and then flash-frozen in under 10 minutes. This state-of-the-art process preserves the prawn at its absolute peak, capturing the pristine texture and rich flavour as if it were just pulled from the water.
• Sustainable & Pure: Raised in clean Ecuadorian waters under the guidance of Japanese specialists, Kami no Ebi are ASC-certified for sustainable aquaculture, ensuring quality you can feel good about.

For the discerning palate, Kami no Ebi offers a clear and convincing step up. It's the ideal choice for preparations where the pure, unadulterated flavour of the prawn is the star—from sashimi and premium sushi to gentle grilling or a classic seafood cocktail. Move beyond the ordinary and experience the divine.
