Parribacus japonicus, the Japanese mitten lobster, is a species of slipper lobster. The Japanese name zōri-ebi (ゾウリエビ?)[3] refers to the zōri, a type of Japanese sandal, which it resembles in appearance.[4] It lives in shallow water, up to 20 metres (66 ft) deep, around the southern coasts of Japan, from Maizuru and Tokyo Bay to the Ryūkyū Islands.[3] It grows up to 16 centimetres (6.3 in) in total length, and is occasionally fished and sold for its meat.[3]
