Shibayama Crab Live Shibayama Gold [refrigerated] (Arrival November 21st to December 10th)

The fish are caught in a special fishing ground with nutrient-rich seabed soil, 12 hours offshore from Shibayama Fishing Port.
The caught crabs are placed in fish ponds where temperature and water quality are strictly controlled, and then taken to the fishing port while still alive.

In winter, the Sea of ​​Japan often becomes rough due to weather, making it difficult for small boats to fish. In Shibayama, however, large boats of around 100 tons are constantly traveling between the fishing port and the fishing grounds, ensuring a steady catch of Matsuba crab.

Shibayama Fishing Port ranks Matsuba crabs more precisely than other fishing ports. At its peak, there were as many as 100 ranks. Only the highest rank crabs are given the title of "Shibayama crab".

Ultimately, the quality of the crabs we deliver to our customers is determined by the discerning eye of the crab buyer. Our company has been purchasing and selling crabs for a long time, and our president himself acts as a buyer and bids on the best crabs.

Depending on the condition of the crab and the weather that day, our craftsmen use natural salt and intuition they have developed over many years to boil the crab. The taste of the crab can change dramatically depending on the boiling time.
