Every November, when the Sea of Japan turns deep blue and the snow begins to dust the rooftops of Kanazawa, a special culinary season begins — the season of Kanou Crab (加能ガニ) and Kobako Crab (香箱ガニ). For locals and visitors alike, these crabs symbolize winter’s arrival, representing freshness, craftsmanship, and the art of Japanese seafood.
