Ebichiri is short for “ebi no chili sauce itame” which means grilled shrimp with chili sauce. But ironically we don't use chili sauce for this food. Please let me know if you know why! This food comes from China but we modify it for the Japanese pallete. There are many Chinese restaurants in Japan but I don’t think you can find Ebichiri in China!
