My first encounter with Calbee Kappa Ebisen was actually while feeding seagulls at Amanohashidate. Later, I couldn’t resist buying a bag at the supermarket to try for myself, and I found the flavor really appealing.
Although they look a little like the shrimp crackers commonly found in Taiwan, they actually have a lighter flavor and aren’t too salty at all, allowing you to taste the pure shrimp flavor even more. During this trip to Okinawa, I was also pleasantly surprised to find a special locally exclusive flavor.
I like the individually wrapped small bags, which are extremely convenient to carry around. Whenever I got hungry during the trip, I could simply pull a bag out of my backpack and immediately satisfy my craving. If you’re craving a small savory snack, I highly recommend keeping a few bags in your backpack. They’re definitely a great companion for satisfying cravings while traveling.
