Sold by 越前かに問屋「ますよね」 of Tsuruga, Fukui Prefecture, this is 3kg of boiled whole snow crab from Canada (listed as 4 extra-large 750g crabs). It is a frozen product that has already been boiled in salted water, and the shop describes it as 5–7 servings. Based on the Rakuten Ichiba product page and reviews, this article organizes the amount, storage, ingredients, gifting, and reviews. Its three features are that the crabs arrive whole, that the shop says you can enjoy the kani miso (crab tomalley) too, and that it has a large number of reviews.
At a Glance
Key points
- 3kg of boiled crabs that arrive whole. The 3kg is the frozen weight, and the shop describes it as 5–7 servings. Of the Ochinity crab articles in which the cut or type could be confirmed (3 items, as of October 18, 2026), all are legs or pre-cut portions, and this is the only one that arrives whole (weak point: the number of crabs is labeled inconsistently)
- Whole crab that the shop says lets you enjoy even the kani miso (crab tomalley). This is what the shop’s product page says. In the reviews as well, about 17 of the first 60 in Rakuten’s default order mentioned how good the kani miso was (a trend within what we read; it may not represent the current state of the product)
- Rakuten rating 4.53 (5,630 reviews). Viewed October 18, 2026; it may not represent the current state of the product. The review count is higher than those of the other 4 products whose ratings we could confirm (727 to 5,179 reviews)
- Can be stored frozen, and described as ready to eat after thawing. It says frozen storage is within 1 month (within 1 week recommended) and refrigerated storage is within 2 days
Watch out for
- The number of crabs is labeled inconsistently. The product name says 4, the caption in an image on the product page says around 5, and the reviews we read report 5–7 crabs. Taking the product name’s 750g×4 as the baseline, the number of crabs you receive cannot be stated definitively
- In the reviews, some voices said the meat fill and the amount of miso vary from one crab to another. Posts from the year-end period in particular tend to describe variation in quality
- Allergen labeling and the handling of noshi paper (gift wrapping label) and wrapping are not stated on the product page and are not confirmed
Suits: People who want to gather 5–7 people around a whole crab, and people who also want to enjoy the kani miso
