Hanasaki Crab
This rare and precious crab is also known as a “phantom crab”. It’s said that the name Hanasaki crab (“hanasaki” means “blooming flowers” in Japanese) comes from the vivid scarlet color it turns when boiled, like a flower blooming. It’s characterized by its ample amount of meat, which is juicy and rich in flavor.
