Kano Crab
Delicate, sweet meat and rich, flavorful crab miso – a true delicacy!
Kano Crab introduction
Kano Crab (加能ガニ, Kano gani) is raised in the nutrient-rich waters of the Sea of Japan. Its meat is naturally sweet and packed even into the claw sections. When boiled, it releases a delicious aroma, and its shell turns a vibrant red. The thick crab miso found inside the shell is prized for its unique, rich flavor. The name "Kano Crab" was chosen in 2006 through a public naming contest, drawing one character each from the regions of Kaga and Noto in Ishikawa Prefecture. Only male snow crabs with a shell width of at least 9cm, landed in ports such as Hashidate, Kanazawa, and Wajima, are qualified as Kano Crab. These select crabs, chosen by fishermen for their exceptional quality, are marked with a distinctive blue tag engraved with the name of the port to signify their premium status.
