Hokkaido steamboat called Nabe. The hairy crab shown is eaten cold and meant for two people. Hokkaido crabs are divided into 3 categories. Kitani are the hairy crabs like that shown. Then, there are the long-legged crabs called tanabakani (very expensive and usually eaten raw) and long-legged crabs called zuwaikani (these have no thorns on the legs). A fresh tanabakani can fetch up to 18,600 yen (approx S$240).
