Sakura-ebi is a tiny shrimp found only in Suruga Bay at the foot of Mt. Fuji. The shrimp, which has been called "the ruby of the sea", is just 4 centimeters long but packed with umami and a sweet fragrance, and is a spring treat in Japan. Join us and discover how fishermen and conservationists work to fish sakura-ebi sustainably, and how it is eaten in a variety of delicious springtime recipes.
