Kanazawaans love Kabako crab, which is also popular among tourists from overseas, but do you know what it is called in English? I had never thought of that, but after Hokuriku Asahi Broadcasting (HAB) announcer Arisa Morishige tweeted about it, I looked it up.
What is Kabako Crab in the first place?
Female snow crabs are called “Seko crab” in Ishikawa Prefecture. In Ishikawa Prefecture, the fishing season is limited to November 6 and ends on December 29 to conserve resources.
Announcer Yurisa Morishige tweeted, 「How do you think Kabako crab is called in English?」 When she tweeted, 「I felt the meaning was more profound when it was put into English」, people answered 「scent box crab」, 「Fragrant box crab」, and 「flavor box crab」 in anticipation.
There are many tweets from overseas about 「Kabako crab」 and it seems to be very popular inbound. I have seen them, and it seems that it is expressed as 「female snow crab」 in English.
Ana Morishige also tweeted the correct answer.
I love how you interpret the meaning of the Kobako as a LITTLE JEWEL BOX.
