You know Japan is not just good for their food, they also get us with their adorable merchandise. You know the adage, ‘Good things must share’ and shellfish we are not. This fried shrimp umbrella is the perfect accessory to declare your undying love for fried shrimp and by extension, fried food. The devil is in the details and we know our Japanese peeps are sticklers for them.
First of all, the shrimp umbrella comes with a cherry-red wooden shrimp handle. I know, it’s promising already.
Then, the ‘batter layer’ is not just printed on but made of a delectable furry textured thing that makes me swoon. This fried shrimp umbrella also comes with an additional umbrella bag should you not feel like flaunting your fried shrimp that day.
Finally, in true Japanese fashion, the actual umbrella is decorated to look like a blushing-pink prawn. Needless to say, I’m smitten and I HAVE to have this. These umbrellas are going for JP¥ 6,380 which is approximately S$82.43. A little steep for fried shrimp, but how can you possibly resist?
