Koshi red crab
Do you know that Toyama Bay, where Koshi red crabs are caught, has a special shape? Not far from the port is the deep sea where Koshi red crabs live. This allows us to catch "Koshi no Beni Gani" crabs grown at the bottom of the sea, which is rich in fresh oxygen and nutrients.

The name "Koshi no Beni Gani" is derived from the name "Akagani," which is used by fishermen in Toyama Prefecture, and "Koshi," which is associated with the name of a place in Toyama Prefecture, and the "high aspirations" of fishermen and fishery officials.

The red snow crab is characterized by its bright red color, but do you know what the difference is between it and the snow crab? First of all, the "fishing season" is from "11/6 to 3/20" for snow crabs, while red crabs from Takasi can be enjoyed for 8 months from "9/1 to 5/31"! As for the taste, snow crab is "packed with meat and features a flavor with a balance of sweetness and fat," while Koshi's red crab's "meat is thick, well-separated, and fresh and tender! Both are exquisite, so I would like to compare them.
