Horsehair crabs from Hokkaido are considered a culinary delight in Japan.  Horsehair crabs earn their name from their spiky hairs, which feel prickly even with their soft shells.



They usually grow to 20-25 centimeters in diameter and weigh about 500 grams, and their meat  has a a delicate, refined taste with a hint of sweetness





The best ways to prepare horsehair crabs are to boil it into a broth to enjoy its original flavor (kani miso is also known to be delicious), or throw them onto a grill. You can also make delicious kani-shabu, which is basically shabu-shabu with crab


              They are in season only during the winter months, so grab them while they last!
