【Introduction】
Kouramori, often called “Snow Crab Burger,” is a high-end crab dish from Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. Its unique feature is the meticulous extraction of crab meat and roe, which are then returned to the crab shell (Kouramori), effectively eliminating the most tedious crab-disassembling steps, allowing us to simply enjoy the meal elegantly. It uses Japanese snow crab (ズワイガニ), known for its delicate texture, tender fibers, high sweetness, and rich, layered flavors, presenting a full-bodied umami taste and a rich, sweet ocean aroma. The soul of Kouramori lies in its “crab roe,” with golden-orange roe and snow-white crab meat covering the shell, symbolizing “enjoying the essence of a whole crab.” 🦀There are many ways to enjoy it: you can enjoy the original flavor directly, or pair it with vinegar oranges, perilla leaves, seaweed, or mix it into hot white rice to make a deluxe crab rice bowl. Some restaurants even add a small amount of egg yolk and broth to make a rich mixed rice.
