They're called "sweet" or "fermented" shrimp here... I was always
under the
impression that they were prepared somehow, not just raw. ???

My "bible" for eating things Japanese is Robb Satterwhite's "What's
What in Japanese Restaurants". He indicates that "ebi" would be boiled
shrimp, "ama-abi" raw shrimp. My local sushi place uses cooked shrimp
for "shrimp nigiri" but it also has "sweet shrimp" which, AFAIK, are
just fresh and uncooked! Incidentally, I don't like the texture or
taste of raw shrimp!
