Horsehair Crab
When thinking of winter delicacies in Hokkaido, many people likely think of horsehair crab. In the Pacific Ocean around Cape Erimo, premium horsehair crabs with densely packed meat are landed from around December to April. Off the coast of Hidaka, the rich fishing grounds where the Kuroshio and Oyashio currents collide provide an abundance of plankton. It is said that this is precisely why the crab miso (guts) develops such a rich flavor. Fishermen head out to sea even in the dead of winter, aiming to catch the crabs at their peak meat density just before they molt. With its packed meat and meltingly delicious crab miso, cracking open a freshly boiled crab is sure to captivate you. Please enjoy this winter luxury with horsehair crab nurtured by the seas of Erimo.
