Gani-jiru (Crab Soup)
'Gani-jiru' is the taste that heralds spring around Lake Ogawara. It is a rustic local dish passed down in Tohoku Town, made using Mokuzugani crabs caught in the lake. Members of the same family as the Shanghai crab, Mokuzugani are characterized by the hair on their claws. The shells are crushed whole, mixed with water, and strained; when heated, the meat and miso dissolve into fluffy clumps. Seasoned with sake, soy sauce, and salt, and finished with chives, it becomes a complete dish. It has long been served as a celebratory feast during important occasions such as weddings and funerals. With its intense crab umami and an indescribable fluffy texture, this is a unique bowl that can only be experienced at Lake Ogawara.
