Founded in 1866 (late Edo Period), Keishindo traces its roots to the Ohno Port on modern-day Aichi Prefecture's Chita Peninsula, where shrimp fishing has prospered since long ago, since its establishment, Keishindo has carefully chosen only the best ingredients, refined our cooking methods and pursued the highest levels of quality in order to produce tasty confectionery that satisfy customers. As a one-of-a-kind company with thoroughgoing knowledge of shrimp, we devote ourselves to the continued creation of delectable shrimp crackers that emphasize the inherent flavors of their various ingredients, and also embody the seasonal changes of Japan and their distinctive characteristics.
Delicious shrimp crackers through a strong focus on freshness, ingredients and production methods
Freshness is the key to a good shrimp cracker. The northern shrimp (ama-ebi) we use are caught in the Sea of Japan near Hokkaido and processed at a plant also located in Hokkaido. Tiger prawns / kuruma shrimp (kuruma-ebi) are raised at western Japan shrimp farms and sent live to our processing plant in Aichi Prefecture. Aside from these main ingredients, other ingredients such as salt, sugar, starch and flour are all produced domestically in Japan. At Keishindo processing plants, we keep a close watch on the conditions of the shrimp and constantly make small adjustments to cooking temperatures, cooking times and other factors as necessary. Our proprietary production methods, which incorporate advanced techniques, make it possible to deliver delicious finished products to our customers.
