Taiza Crab (Taiza-gani)
If you find a Matsuba crab with a green tag, it is proof of the highest quality. This is the Taiza Crab (Taizagani), a species of snow crab landed at the Taiza Fishing Port in Kyotango. Because they are caught by small vessels on daily trips and brought directly to the port from fishing grounds off Cape Kyoga, the freshness is outstanding. Fishermen hand-select each crab based on approximately 50 criteria, including meat density, size, and luster, manually attaching a green tag that bears the vessel's name. Due to its rarity—with only about twenty tons landed annually—it is often referred to as the 'Phantom Crab.' The sweet leg meat is packed tightly, and the crab miso is rich and creamy. Whether boiled or grilled, the density of umami the moment it hits your palate is incomparable. It is a luxury you must experience at least once during the winter in Tango.
