It lives in shallow rocky and coral reef zones at depths of 10 to 30 meters. The body of an adult is about 15 to 20 cm long, and its body is flattened as if squashed from above, and its overall shape when viewed from above is oval-shaped. Its body color is brown. The season for eating it is from autumn to spring.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The flesh of Zouriebi is a clear white, and it is very delicious with a strong umami and sweetness. Also, because it does not become too tough even when cooked, it goes well with cooking methods that involve heating, and miso soup made by boiling the whole shell and head is a standard cooking method. Even if you simply grill or boil them, the unique flavor of the shrimp becomes richer and they are very delicious to eat. However, because wild-caught Zouriebi is eaten in the area where it is caught, it is extremely rare to find it in markets, and you would not normally see it in supermarkets.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6538\" style=\"width: 481px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6538\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-6538\" src=\"https:\/\/sushiuniversity.jp\/basicknowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/01\/Japanese-mitten-lobster-Zouriebi.jpg\" alt=\"A photo of Japanese mitten lobster (Zouriebi)\" width=\"481\" height=\"243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sushiuniversity.jp\/basicknowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/01\/Japanese-mitten-lobster-Zouriebi.jpg 640w, https:\/\/sushiuniversity.jp\/basicknowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/01\/Japanese-mitten-lobster-Zouriebi-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sushiuniversity.jp\/basicknowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/01\/Japanese-mitten-lobster-Zouriebi-357x180.jpg 357w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 481px) 100vw, 481px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6538\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The appearance of Japanese mitten lobster (Zouriebi)<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Common name: Japanese mitten lobster, Flathead lobster<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Japanese name: Zouriebi (\u8349\u5c65\u8766\u3001\u8349\u5c65\u6d77\u8001)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Taiwan common name: \uff0d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Chinese common name: \u65e5\u672c\u5ca9\u7901\u6247\u8766<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Korean common name: \uff0d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Scientific name: <span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Pariibacus japonicus Holthuis,1960<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6540\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6540\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-6540\" src=\"https:\/\/sushiuniversity.jp\/basicknowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/01\/Japanese-mitten-lobster-Zouriebi-nigiri-1.jpg\" alt=\"A photo of Japanese mitten lobster (Zouriebi) nigiri\" width=\"480\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sushiuniversity.jp\/basicknowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/01\/Japanese-mitten-lobster-Zouriebi-nigiri-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/sushiuniversity.jp\/basicknowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/01\/Japanese-mitten-lobster-Zouriebi-nigiri-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sushiuniversity.jp\/basicknowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/01\/Japanese-mitten-lobster-Zouriebi-nigiri-1-270x180.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6540\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The appearance of Japanese mitten lobster (Zouriebi) nigiri<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nigiri sushi detail: Japanese mitten lobster (Zouriebi) <a style=\"color: #000000;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nigiri sushi<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Japanese mitten lobster (Zouriebi) is distributed along the Pacific coast from Chiba Prefecture to Kyushu, and from the Amami Islands to the Okinawa Islands and Taiwan.
