Ganzuke (Crab Paste)
With just a tiny morsel in your mouth, an intense saltiness accompanied by a powerful richness of crab surges forward. It pairs perfectly with both rice and sake. Ganzuke is a robust delicacy passed down along the coast of the Ariकी Sea. The ingredients are small crabs that inhabit the tidal flats. Crabs like the fiddler crab, known for their large claws, are crushed whole with their shells and preserved with salt and chili pepper. Its history is long, as it has been a traditional preserved food in the Ariake Sea coastal regions for generations. While its flavor profile is strong, even a small amount has the power to make you eat bowl after bowl of rice. Once you get used to it, it becomes an addictive staple of the Ariake Sea dining table. Please enjoy it with just a little bit atop steaming hot white rice.
