Ama ebi, or sweet raw shrimp, nigiri sushi at Yokohama, 811 New Hampshire St.

Order Ama Ebi, or raw sweet shrimp, from the nigiri sushi menu and you’ll be served two raw shrimp tails (that do, in fact, taste mild and sweet) draped over ovals of sticky rice.

Next to those you’ll get two fried shrimp heads perched on a nest of julienned daikon and garnished with a pinch of salmon roe. The heads aren’t just for dramatic visual effect — you can eat them whole.

The shells and feelers are crunchy, like soft-shell crab, and the innards (whatever they are) are rich and savory.
