About Mokuzugani (Freshwater crab)
Niigata’s Chūetsu region is surrounded by nature, and lively wild mokuzugani live in its clear streams, in places untouched by people. Unlike marine crabs, mokuzugani have a distinctive, pronounced sweetness in their crab miso, which is prized as a delicacy. Females with well-developed ovaries are especially prized, more so than males.
