Officially called Taiza crabs, after the port they are landed in, many people call them "Phantom Crabs", because the hauls are so small it can be hard to find them. In Kyotango however there is no difficulty to finding this winter specialty, most ryokan inns will have them in for a delicious winter meal. The crab fishing season runs from November to March. #crab #japan #japanesefood #winter #winterfood
