Sapporo, Hokkaido – Crab Capital of Japan! @BestEverFoodReviewShow
[Music] Soon, I’ll be tasting some of the most prized crabs found exclusively in this island’s frigid seas, including Japan’s famous hairy crab. It’s so hairy. But before that, I’m heading back into the cold to learn more about what makes Hkaido’s crabs different from anywhere else. How do you dress in these frigid temperatures to stay warm cuz you are basically outside all day? Anita runs a live seafood shop here. You should wear more layers inside. How many pants are you wearing? Some three layers. I’m wearing exactly one pants. It’s not enough pants. I’m excited to be here because this is a new side of Japan for me. I’ve never been in Japan in the winter. And my god, it gets very cold here, especially in the north. Tapo, the snowiest city on earth, isn’t just big on winter activities and downhill skiing, but it’s also the crab capital of Japan, where all the best offerings brought from around Hokkaido meet up in one place. -es. I know it’s cold here. I was born and raised here, so I got used to it. It goes to minus 20, so be careful. Cold, nutrient-rich waters like those surrounding Hokkaido create a perfect ecosystem for crabs, offering abundant food, fewer predators, and ideal temperatures for slow growth, making their meat denser, sweeter, and more flavorful. How long have you had your stall here? Amen.
