●I want to eat deliciously this winter! Enjoy Echizen Snow Crab in Echizen Town

Echizen Snow Crab was lifted in November. Echizen Snow Crab is one of the specialties of Fukui Prefecture.
It is also featured in brochures for tourists. Fishing starts on November 6 and is in season until mid-March.
It's for a limited time, so I want people I know outside the prefecture and outside of Japan to taste it.

This time, we will introduce Echizen Snow Crab Spots that you can enjoy even on a day trip drive.
Restrooms available for foreign visitors.

How would you answer if someone asked, "What is Echizen Snow Crab?"

What Echizen calls Ninizen Snow Crab is snow crab Landings in Fukui Prefecture. In the San'in region, pine needles are called ni, and in Noto and Kaga, they are called kanoga.

There are three points to keep in mind when introducing Echizen Snow Crab

1. Echizen Snow Crab is a male snow crab. Females are called seikogani
2. A yellow tag with the name of the fishing port is attached as proof of Landings in Fukui Prefecture
3. Echizen Snow Crab is the No.1 in Japan in terms of fishing and quality. It is also presented to the Imperial Family

The facilities where you can learn about crabs is the Echizen Snow Crab Museum. It is Located in Roadside Station Echizen. This time, I went to hang out with my Chinese friends. When I asked, "Do you want to join?" he said, "I definitely want to join!" I didn't expect people to be so interested.

At the Echizen Snow Crab Museum, you can compare Echizen Snow Crab and various types of crabs. Restrooms available where real crabs are bred. It is highly recommended because it is easier to convey because it can be explained by actually seeing it with the eyes.

You can actually see the tools used for crab fishing, and there are plenty of Documents, so you can learn a lot.

Restrooms available for children and a game corner, so it's fun to go with your family.

●Do foreigners like crabs?

Speaking of Fukui, Echizen Snow Crab, and speaking of Echizen Town, delicious seafood. I would like foreign customers to eat it as well.

However, depending on the country or region, there is no custom of eating seafood, or it is not edible. Squid is not good for some people, so be sure to check well in advance. Of course, there are foreigners who come to Fukui to see Echizen Snow Crab.

Here are the favorites of the people I've met by country and region. Please refer to it.

・United States
Many people on the Saikai coast of the United States had the opportunity to eat lobster, so there was not much resistance. Sushi is a widespread part of Japan culture, so many people like raw fish.

・China
Even in China, it is a small yellowtail, but they eat crab, so Echizen Snow Crab was happy to eat it. Crab miso and uchiko are also my favorite foods.

・Asia
Tastes change depending on which region of Asia you are in. The image is that shrimp are eaten, but raw fish depends on the person. Bangladeshi children are not in the habit of eating seafood, and sashimi and fish dishes in general were not Restrooms available favorite.

・Australia
Australia is a multi-ethnic country, and they are familiar with various food cultures on a regular basis. There are many people who like Japan sushi. Echizen Snow Crab was also happy to eat.

・Europe
There are many countries in Europe that do not have the habit of eating fish, so be sure to check carefully.
Inland Australians didn't even like the smell of soup stock. Danes, who have a habit of eating salmon, also have sashimi depending on the person. If you are used to it on a regular basis, you will be desensitized to the smell of fish and the taste of dashi, so be careful when you go to the fish market.

・Israel
Judaism forbids eating seafood without scales. Shrimp and crabs fall under this category, so check with Jewish people in advance. Some sects of Islam do not eat seafood such as shrimp and crabs in the same way. The food varies greatly depending on the religion, so be sure to check carefully.

Let's enjoy the delicious Echizen Snow Crab with your family and friends this winter.
