Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) was called as
Shanghai crab in Japan. This ingredient was very familiar to the gourmand in
Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Mainland East coast of China. The season of this
crab is generally October to December.
The crab is very popular ingredients of the winter season in
Japan. Hokkaido and prefectures of Sea of Japan side had landing fisherman’s port
which had also well-known fisherman’s market. The period of fishing Kobako kani
(Kobako crab) in Ishikawa prefecture had strictly fixed from 6th
November to 29th December in female crab for preservation of this
crab spices.
spring roll of Shanghai crab
This restaurant had served the Shanghai crab as the Shanghai
style. The steamed crab were common in Chinese restaurant in Far East. The crab
pickled in Shaoxingjiu or fried spring roll with crab were served.
The crab pickled with Shaoxingjiu (drunken crab) will give
us the taste of whole body of crab meat in the spirits flavour. The Shaoxingjiu
taste and flavour was similar to matured whiskey in sherry barrels or Sherry wine,
the sweet taste and Ceylon tea like flavour. The complex flavour and taste were
stuffed into the crab meat and organs. The Kani Miso (カニ味噌 the internal organ of crab in the shell, orange to green
colour. Midgut gland, digestion system in crab) is the important part on tasting
crab meats. This part were including Umami and lipoid taste. The meat of almost-raw
crab, because this crab is just pickled in liquor for several days, has very
lovely texture, like jelly including fibre of protein and juicy body coming from
cholesterol.
