Mihama's famous crab
Mihama's famous crab, known as Mihama-gani, is a prized seafood delicacy found along the coast of Mihama, a town in Fukui Prefecture, Japan. This crab is celebrated for its sweet, tender meat and is typically harvested during the winter months, making it a seasonal treat for locals and visitors alike.
The unique flavor of Mihama-gani is attributed to the cold waters of the Sea of Japan, where these crabs thrive. They are often prepared in various traditional dishes, including steamed, grilled, or served in hot pots, showcasing the region's culinary heritage and attracting seafood enthusiasts from around the world.
