Seiko Crab
A winter delicacy with the rich flavor and aroma of uchiko
Kasumi Port in Hyogo Prefecture is known as a port where particularly high-quality snow crabs are landed off the San'in coast.
Seiko crab refers to the female crab, a special winter-only delicacy that combines rich internal roe with delicate external roe.
The waters off Kasumi are a rich fishing ground where cold currents and the Tsushima Warm Current converge, with nutrient-rich water rising from the seabed nurturing the crab's feeding environment.
Compared to other regions like San'in and Hokkaido, it features a distinct richness and pronounced aroma in the inner roe, well-defined grains in the outer roe, and a high overall density of umami.
You can sense the concentrated richness of the ingredient's inherent aroma, sweetness, and umami.
