Calbee was founded in 1949 in Hiroshima, Japan, with a simple mission: to bring joy through food. The Kappa Ebisen line was created to solve a common modern snacking problem—bland, one-dimensional crackers that leave you unsatisfied. Our product developers spent years sourcing ingredients, selecting only premium Japanese shrimp and authentic Shizuoka wasabi to create a flavor experience that is both bold and refined. Every batch is produced in our GMP-certified facilities in Japan, where quality control is a non-negotiable ritual, not just a step. This commitment has made Kappa Ebisen a top-ranked snack in Japan for decades, trusted by families who value both taste and quality.

Calbee Kappa Ebisen Premium Wasabi Shrimp Crackers are crafted with a blend of ingredients designed to deliver a distinctive flavor and texture experience. The primary components include wheat flour, which serves as the base for the cracker's structure, providing a light and crispy texture. Shrimp powder is incorporated to impart the characteristic seafood essence, enhancing the savory profile. Vegetable oil, typically palm or canola, is used for frying to achieve the desired crispiness and mouthfeel. Sugar and salt are added to balance flavors, with sugar offering a subtle sweetness and salt intensifying the overall taste. Seasonings such as wasabi powder contribute the signature spicy kick, while soy sauce powder adds umami depth. Additional ingredients may include leavening agents like baking soda for aeration, and flavor enhancers such as monosodium glutamate (MSG) to amplify savory notes. These elements collectively create a snack that combines the crunch of a cracker with the bold flavors of shrimp and wasabi, offering a satisfying and indulgent treat for consumers seeking a unique savory snack.
