Echizen Crab
As you bring the plump, firm meat of the leg to your mouth, a fresh sweetness and a light yet deep umami flavor gently wash over you. Whether boiled for a fluffy texture, grilled for a fragrant aroma, or enjoyed as sashimi for a melting sensation—no matter how you eat it, it is exceptional. This is Fukui's 'Echizen Crab,' the king of winter delicacies. The proof of Echizen Crab is the yellow tag engraved with the name of the fishing port. It is characterized by thick meat and particularly long legs. Its history of being presented to the Imperial Court is ancient, with records dating back to the 43rd year of the Meiji era. Only those that are sufficiently mature and magnificent are selected, and those of tribute grade are marked with a second yellow tag. Registered as a Geographical Indication (GI) in 2018, it is the top brand of snow crabs. The winter in Fukui arrives specifically for this single exquisite taste.
