A delicious freshwater crab from Niigata
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.
