KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 7 (Bernama) – The season for catching ‘Echizen Gani’, a leading Japanese brand-name crab species started recently in the Sea of Japan off Fukui Prefecture.
The Fukui Prefectural Government in a statement said the catching season of the ‘king of delicious winter food’ encourages many tourists include foreigners to visit the prefecture. The season lasts until March 20.
Echizen Gani are the most treasured brand-name ‘zuwai gani’ (snow crabs) and the only crab species presented to the Imperial Family.
Since the crab species – yellow tags attached that certify their origin and can be easily distinguished from other kinds of snow crabs – are stored at a cool temperature from their catch to landing to remain fresh and the meat is extraordinarily high in quality.
Echizen Gani became the first zuwai gani variety to be registered with the protected geographical indication system (GI) on Sept 27, 2018. Watch video at https://youtu.be/Ex-G59f0vl4
