Whitebait products
Kanenaka's Shirasu, with over 100 years of history
The shirasu products that are born from the stubborn father's passion are exquisite.
Raw whitebait (for eating raw)
We use only the freshest shirasu caught, and then quickly freeze them in ice water. This preserves the firm texture of the shirasu, allowing you to enjoy the texture and flavor of freshly caught fish. Enjoy it as sashimi, in a raw shirasu bowl, or as kakiage (fried tempura).
Net weight: 100g Storage method: Freeze (below -18°C) Best before date: 60 days (same day after thawing)
Boiled whitebait
Fresh whitebait is cooked by skilled artisans in a traditional open-fire round pot. Our open-fire round pot method is characterized by high heat (100°C) and a short time (15-20 seconds), and is completed within an hour of being caught (sometimes as early as 30 minutes), resulting in a firm fish with a plump texture. You can choose between frozen and refrigerated products. Refrigerated products are shipped only on the day of catch, so delivery dates cannot be specified.
Net weight: 100g Storage method: Freeze (below -18°C) Best before date: 60 days (same day after thawing)
Chirimen
Whitebait cooked in a direct-fire round kiln is sun-dried and then turned into dried chirimen. Packed with the delicious flavor of whitebait, it can be used as a side dish with rice, or as an ingredient in rice balls, fried rice, pasta, and more.
Storage method: Refrigerate (below 10°C) Best before date: 30 days
Sakura shrimp products
Sakura shrimp is a popular specialty of Suruga Bay, along with whitebait.
The vivid color and the aroma of shrimp that fills your mouth are exquisite.
Fresh Sakura Shrimp (for eating raw)
These fresh sakura shrimp (for raw consumption) are from Suruga Bay. They are flash-frozen to preserve the crisp texture and distinctive flavor of the sakura shrimp. They are vacuum-packed in 50g portions, so you can use them up as a single serving. They can be enjoyed as sashimi, kakiage, or as a topping for other dishes.
Net weight: 100g Storage method: Freeze (below -18°C) Best before date: 60 days (same day after thawing)
Steamed Sakura Shrimp
Sakura shrimp from Suruga Bay are fried in a direct-fire round kiln. Cooked at high temperature (100°C) for a short time (20-25 seconds), the fish remains firm and retains its delicious flavor. Use these vibrantly colored sakura shrimp in rice bowls or as a topping. They're also great as a snack on their own.
