Shiroebitei

A specialty restaurant focused on shiroebi (white shrimp) cuisine, located inside Toyama Station’s “Kitokito Market Toya Marche.” Opened in 2015, it serves dishes that bring out the white shrimp’s natural sweetness and texture. Its signature item, the “Shiroebi Tempura Rice Bowl,” uses plenty of white shrimp. To preserve the shrimp’s light sweetness and the dish’s visual appeal, the batter and seasoning are kept to a minimum, enhancing the shrimp’s flavor.
