This is the largest market of its kind on the Sea of Japan with nine different vendors selling their freshly caught crabs.

In accordance with the Food Hygiene Lay, Benizuwai Crabs cannot be taken on airplanes so you can't take them home with you.

The crabs are precooked and ready to eat, just tear in and enjoy the rich, sweet flavor of Nou's Benizuwai Crabs.
