Matsuba Crab (Yonago)

When you crack open the bright vermilion legs, the plump white meat falls away effortlessly. As it enters your mouth, a rich sweetness and juiciness overflow—this is the Matsuba crab, the king of winter in the Sea of Japan. It is a local delicacy landed specifically in the Yonago and Sakaiminato area. Matsuba crab is the name given to male snow crabs caught in the San'in region. The fishing season opens every year on November 6th and continues until around mid-March. Landed crabs are attached with tags certifying their origin, and the highest quality specimens that meet specific standards for size and meat fullness bear the premium "Gokiboshi" brand. Enjoy a crab-filled course at an inn in Kaike Onsen. It is an exquisite experience that can only be tasted in Yonago during winter.
