Go to Toyama Prefecture to eat juicy "Koshi no Beni Gani" (red crab)!

The name "Koshi no Beni Gani" is derived from the name "red crab," 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 November 6 to March 20, whereas the snow crab's season is from September 1 to May 31, a period of 8 months! 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.
