間人蟹 🦀
Taiza-gani @[instagram] Higashiyama Ogata. 🍁
In Japan, not all zuwaigani (snow crab) are created equal. The green tags indicate that these beauties are Taiza-gani, the highest grade and most expensive snow crab brand, which are named after the port, Taizo Gyokō, Kyoto, where they are landed. The season starts on November 6th, and only five boats are licensed to catch snow crab under the Taiza brand. As the fishing grounds are close to port, the crabs are delivered live to restaurants (like Ogata) on the same day they are caught.
