What are tagged brand crabs?

"Tagged brand crab" is something you hear a lot about these days.
In fact, they are originally the same snow crab, but are called different names depending on the region where they are caught.
In addition, to distinguish between brand crabs, colored "tags" are attached to the crabs to identify them.
"Tagged brand crabs" are popular because of their recognized quality.
Club Tourism offers tours where you can eat the following tagged crabs.

最近よく耳にする「ブランドガニ」ですが、もともとは同じ種類のカニです。実は水揚げされる地域によって名前が変化します。またブランドガニを見分けるために、色つきの「タグ」をつけて判別しています。その品質が保証されるという面から「タグ付ブランドガニ」は人気があります。
