Kamenote

Kamenote introduction

“Kamenote” is a delicacy popular in coastal regions, starting with Saga Prefecture, and is a shellfish with a unique appearance reminiscent of a “turtle's hand” due to its appearance. They belong to the same crustaceans as shrimp and crabs, and live densely in gaps in rocky areas. As the name suggests, it has a characteristic lumpy, hard shell, but the pink flesh, which is tightly packed with flavor, is hidden inside. The most common way to eat it is to simply boil it in salt and enjoy it. When boiled in salt, you can enjoy the rich flavor of the sea like shrimp and crab, and the crisp texture is exquisite. Also, since the soup stock comes out well, when added to miso soup or mashi soup, the rich flavor spreads, and it tastes as if the scent of the sea is trapped in the bowl as it is. Kamenote is particularly known as a high-class food in Spain and Portugal, and is also appreciated as a stamina food rich in marine minerals. It contains minerals and succinic acid, and can be expected to be effective in recovering from fatigue and nourishing strength, so it is truly a dish filled with “marine nutrition.”
