The specialties of Yamani Suisan

The specialties of Yamani Suisan, an established fish wholesaler

Yamani Suisan was founded 80 years ago. We possess a “license” permitting entry into the Port of Mikuni in Fukui prefecture as a wholesaler, and are involved with the fishery industry of the Sea of Japan. The title of “wholesaler” here refers to “someone who is permitted to directly purchase Echizen Crabs at market auctions.” This is an important license in the fishery industry that allows only a handful of dealers to directly buy market products.
Yamani Suisan is also a store/ restaurant located in Tojinbo, which is one of the most famous scenic areas in Fukui prefecture. Our store sells freshly caught fish as well as souvenirs of the Hokuriku region.

Since it was founded in the Meiji era, Yamani Suisan is the only fish store in Tojinbo that has been passed down to each generation.

We believe it is due to our reputation that we have been chosen to present crabs to the Imperial Family that values tradition and prestige.

We present crabs to the Imperial Family once every four years, and when the time comes, the owner of Yamani discerns and inspects the quality before selecting and preparing the highest quality Echizen Crab.

The fresh, exquisite crab is delivered to the Imperial Household Agency by car on the day it is prepared, and served to the Imperial Family Members.
