Sold by 築地魚星 楽天市場店 (the 築地魚星 store on Rakuten Ichiba), this is 2kg of boiled snow crab legs from Russia. It holds only snow crab legs, 5–7 clusters’ worth (a “cluster” is one whole set of legs joined at the shoulder, called kata in Japanese), and one more bonus cluster that the shop describes as “small size, missing legs” comes separately. It arrives frozen and already boiled. Based on the Rakuten Ichiba product page and reviews, this article organizes the amount, storage, ingredient labeling, suitability as a gift, and reviews. The two features we could confirm on the product page are the labeling of 300g or more per cluster and the gift-box packaging that supports 5 types of noshi (gift wrapping label).
