Trivia

[For Everyone] One of the Big Three Taiwanese bottled seafoods alongside Ganbei Jiang (Scallop Sauce) and Xiaoyu Jiang. Sakura shrimp shells are thin and soft, eliminating the discomfort of shells poking the mouth, allowing direct tasting of crisp texture and shrimp sweetness. Many Taiwanese eat it straight from the jar as a drink snack; sinfully delicious.
