About Hanasaki Crab (A richly flavored Hokkaido crab)
Hanasaki crab is a hermit crab related to king crabs, and its season runs from summer through autumn. Its legs are thick and packed with meat, but its rich flavor and distinctive sweet aroma mean it is not often eaten raw. It is commonly grilled or boiled with salt, and is also used in teppō-jiru, a miso soup made with chunks of crab legs. The source also claims that simmering the shells releases chitosan and may have a slimming effect.
