Okay, maybe not hate, but I don’t think I’ll be eating any for a while anyway! A few years back, I got a whole Hanasaki-gani with dinner at an inn in Rausu. It was split between two people, but was still quite a challenge to eat all of it. This time around, in a visit to Kawayu-onsen, the crab dinner came with crab sashimi, crab sunomono, crab nabe, crab miso soup, crab rice, crab tofu, and of course, a platter of whole crabs! There was no way we could possibly eat all of that crab. Even with a valiant effort, we didn’t even get through half of it. Only the dessert didn’t have crab in it! Unfortunately, it was the first day of a multi-legged onsen tour, so we couldn’t bag the unfinished crab and take it home with us. Zannen, desu…
I remember going to Dixie Grill with the boys a few years back, and getting the “trash can of crabs”. That was a lot for the 4 or 5 of us. This was more crab than that, and served in addition to the regular dinner!
LOL, I actually didn’t have much crab, and at Chitose splurged and got the kegani pasta which was wonderfully crabby! They must have used the “miso” and the other portion of the crab that wasn’t presented on top in the sauce. It was quite awesome!
You got crabs in Japan??!?!!!
We didn’t get them in the same place…
