Snow crab portions come already shelled, which removes the work — but it also removes most of the cues you would normally use to choose between them. It is easy to buy 1 kg without knowing how many people it will feed, or how long you have to eat it. This page organises what is published about Morigen Shoten’s raw snow crab full portions (1 kg) into five points: quantity, shelf life, ingredient labelling, gift suitability, and what reviews say.
These shops ship within Japan only. You will need a Japanese delivery address, and most frozen and chilled items cannot be sent overseas.
What this page covers
- Quantity, and roughly how many people it serves
- Storage and shelf life
- Ingredients and allergens
- Suitability as a gift

Ingredients and allergens
As far as we could check, the listing does not state ingredients, additives, or allergen information. This item is therefore not confirmed.
Crab is one of the specified raw materials that must be declared under Japan’s Food Labelling Act. If someone with a shellfish allergy will be eating it, or if you want to check the additives used in processing (antioxidants, for example), ask the shop before buying, or read the labelling on the package when it arrives.

Suitability as a gift
The listing does not confirm whether noshi labels, gift wrapping, or message cards are available. If you are considering it as a gift, checking these three points with the shop before you buy will reduce the chance of a mix-up.
- Whether noshi labels and gift wrapping are available (not stated on the listing)
- Whether you can specify a delivery date and time the recipient can accept, since it ships frozen
- Whether the recipient has room in their freezer for 1 kg (500 g × 2)
Some reviewers mention sending it to relatives as a gift (source: Rakuten customer reviews, accessed 5 September 2026).

Who it suits, and who should think twice
It suits you if you
- want crab without the work of shelling it
- want to eat it as sashimi or shabu-shabu
- want to use it across two occasions (500 g × 2 split packs)
- have room in your freezer for 1 kg
Think twice if you
- have a shellfish allergy — the labelling is unconfirmed, so ask the shop first
- want to confirm the actual thickness of each piece before ordering
- are counting on noshi labels or gift wrapping
- find it hard to arrange a delivery slot
