Minniko Ebi Fried Shrimp Tail
Ebi Fried Shrimp Tail is a leftover tail of a fried shrimp in Japanese cuisine. Its full name in Japanese is Ebifurai No Shippo. Because of the similar experience of being left over on the plate, it becomes a close friend of Pork Cutlet, Tonkatsu. They like to refry themselves together as their own way of taking bath. They also like to apply sauce onto their body and hoping one day they will be eaten.
