Mountains of Delicious Crabs!
Kaniya Yokocho
At Kaniya Yokocho - Crab Market Street - there are mountains of bright red Benizuwai Crabs (red snow crabs), caught fresh in the waters off Nou! Buy your crabs direct from one of the crab boat stalls and enjoy them right on site! This is the largest market of its kind on the Sea of Japan with nine different vendors selling their freshly caught crabs.
Business Hours

※The crab fishing season is closed during January and February. Some crab shops remain open during this time, but they may sell crabs from outside Niigata Prefecture during this time.

Savor your fresh crabs at Kanikani Kan!
In accordance with the Food Hygiene Lay, Benizuwai Crabs cannot be taken on airplanes so you can't take them home with you. But don't worry, you can enjoy your crabs right here at Kanikani Kani, located right next to Kaniya Yokocho! The crabs are precooked and ready to eat, just tear in and enjoy the rich, sweet flavor of Nou's Benizuwai Crabs. The facility is air-conditioned and includes areas to wash your hands for easy cleanup after your meal.
