At a Glance
Key points
- Five kinds of parts in half-shelled form, assorted in one set. Each pack is stated to hold 9–12 half-shelled leg-meat pieces, 3–6 shelled claw pieces, 3–6 half-shelled claw-base pieces, 8–12 shoulder-meat pieces and 3–6 little-finger (小指) pieces (as stated by the seller; individual variation applies). Among the 6 single crab items featured on Ochinity (as of October 26, 2026; furusato nozei (hometown tax donation program) return gifts excluded), in the 4 for which the parts or kinds could be confirmed, the number of kinds in one product is the largest in this product (a weak point: it is not leg meat only, and includes parts of the whole crab such as shoulder meat)
- 2kg (1kg × 2 packs); gross weight about 2.4kg. The seller’s serving guide is 6–8 for a modest portion, about 6 for standard and 4–6 for a hearty portion. We did not find a statement on whether the weight includes a film of ice
- Raw (unheated) snow crab, delivered frozen. Of the same 6 crab items, 3 arrive boiled (築地魚星, ますよね and Wakeari King Crab Legs, where “wakeari” is a Japanese shopping label for items sold with a stated reason); this product is raw, and the seller advises cooking it before eating
- The customer reviews on the official site are 4.5 (2748 reviews). This is the display on the seller’s official site (viewed October 26, 2026), not a Rakuten Ichiba or other marketplace rating, and it is a tendency in the range we read that does not necessarily show the current condition of the product
Watch out for
- Because it is raw, the seller advises thawing it and then cooking it. A crab that arrives boiled is 築地魚星 Boiled Snow Crab Legs 2kg (5–7 clusters) (boiled, serves 3–4; a “cluster” is one whole set of legs joined at the shoulder, called kata)
- “Extra-Large 7L–5L” is the seller’s size label, and the seller states that the contents vary from piece to piece. What reviewers note is summarized in the “What Public Reviews Say” section
Suits: People who want to prepare 2kg of raw snow crab at once for hot pot or shabu-shabu, and who want to use not only the legs but also the claws, shoulder meat and little-finger pieces, including for the broth

Soaking it in running water for too long is stated to be avoided because the flavor washes out. Overheating is stated to make the meat firm.
