#ise ebi

[tanuki-kimono]

Festive red for this outfit, pairing a kimono with dynamic brush-like swirls, with an antique black base obi depicting an Ise-ebi among bamboo leaves.

Ise ebi (Japanese spiny lobster) are an auspicious creature part of New year osechi ryôri celebratory dishes: their bent back make them look like an old person, hence why they symbolize wishes for long life :)

Chic auspicious kimono outfit, featuring lucky seafood: the tai (sea bream), and Ise ebi (spiny lobster) are often served for celebratory events (weddings, New Year banquet, etc).

Sushi of the DAY!

6. Ise Ebi Nigiri (Japanese Spiny Lobster)

-You would not eat the sushi of Ise-ebi in Japanese sushi restaurants.

Because, ise-ebi sushi in Japan is rare and expensive.

-Has a delicious aroma and distinctive flavor.
