Kakujo Fishery's Jumbo Shrimp Tempura: A New Year's Sensation

As the year draws to a close, Kakujo Fishery is making waves with the return of its spectacular Jumbo Shrimp Tempura, available from December 23 to December 31. This culinary delight is not just about its size; it is a testament to the joy of New Year's Eve celebrations in Japan. In fact, last year on New Year's Eve, more than 106,000 pieces were sold in just one day, underlining its immense popularity.

At over 20 centimeters in length, the giant shrimp tempura promises to not only satiate but also astonish customers with its impressive size and taste. Priced at a reasonable 400 yen per piece (tax included), these beautifully crafted tempura are made from thick, high-quality shrimp, providing a satisfying combination of chewiness and crunch.

A Perfect Addition to New Year's Soba

Japanese tradition dictates that eating soba on New Year's Eve symbolizes longevity and good fortune. To enhance this meaningful meal, Kakujo’s Jumbo Shrimp Tempura makes an ideal accompaniment. Imagine a hot bowl of soba topped with crispy, golden shrimp tempura, delivering not just flavor but also a visual feast. It elevates the New Year's table into a luxurious affair, allowing you to wrap up the year deliciously.

Eating shrimp tempura during New Year festivities is steeped in tradition. The shrimp, upon being cooked, curls into a round shape, symbolizing a long and healthy life. Its vibrant red tail serves as a talisman against misfortune, while its proud, upright posture represents prosperity. Through each bite of the tempura, you not only enjoy a delightful taste but also partake in the rich customs of Japanese New Year.

Handcrafted with Care

Kakujo Fishery prides itself on the meticulous preparation of each shrimp tempura. Each piece is individually cooked to ensure the highest quality and taste. Customers can trust that they are getting the best of the best, as the shrimp used is sourced from top-quality Black Tiger shrimp known for its robust flavor and texture. This attention to detail guarantees that even if the tempura cools down, it maintains its crispy exterior and delightful taste.

A Bustling Marketplace Experience

Within Kakujo Fishery, the deli corner is a hive of activity, showcasing over 50 varieties of dishes daily. Customers can indulge in crispy tempura or fried oysters, made to order for maximum freshness. The star of the section, however, continues to be the Jumbo Shrimp Tempura, which is consistently a top seller, especially as the year-end approaches.
This year, Kakujo aims to provide an even more exceptional experience for those looking to add a special touch to their New Year's celebrations.
