Tsugani Dishes
Rich and flavorful crab miso is the star of “Tsugani”
About Tsugani Dishes
Tsugani dishes (ツガニ料理, Tsugani ryouri) are local specialties enjoyed in areas like the Tamashima and Matsuura River basins of Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture. These dishes are exceptionally delicious from late autumn to winter when the crabs descend the river to spawn.
Tsugani can be savored in various ways, such as simply boiled with salt or served in crab rice, each offering a rich and unique taste. In Nanayama, where the crabs are abundantly harvested, Tsugani is cherished as a beloved symbol of autumn. Comparable to the famous Shanghai crab, Tsugani boasts the pure, fresh flavors nurtured in Saga’s pristine rivers.
