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.
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."
