Calbee Kappa Ebisen Shrimp Snack 77g

Calbee Kappa Ebisen Shrimp Snack (かっぱえびせん) 77 g — Calbee's flagship long-selling shrimp snack, first launched in 1964. Crispy, stick-shaped crackers made by kneading whole fresh shrimp (head, shell, and tail) into wheat dough and frying until light and savoury.

About Calbee

Calbee, Inc. (カルビー株式会社) was founded 1949 in post-war Hiroshima by Takashi Matsuo, originally to sell Calbee Caramel (named for "calcium" and vitamin B1). The savoury-snack pivot came with Kappa Ebisen (かっぱえびせん) in 1964; the Calbee range now also includes Frugra granola, Kataage Potato chips, and a wide potato-snack lineup.

The product uses a blend of natural shrimp varieties — xi shrimp, monkey shrimp, red shrimp, and Hokkoku red shrimp — sourced from Japan, China, and the U.S. Famous tagline: "Yamerarenai, tomaranai" ("You can't stop, you can't quit") — a phrase that's become a national catchphrase for the brand.

What makes it distinctive

• Whole shrimp (head, shell, and tail) kneaded directly into the dough — concentrated shrimp flavour throughout each stick, not just on the surface.
• Blend of natural shrimp varieties for depth — xi shrimp, monkey shrimp, red shrimp, Hokkoku red shrimp.
• Long-selling icon — on the market since 1964.
• Famous tagline: "Yamerarenai, tomaranai" — "You can't stop, you can't quit."
