About Zuwai / Snow Crab

Zuwai crab (ズワイガニ), known in Thailand as snow crab, is a long-legged crab with sweet, fine-fibred meat that separates into clean strands — softer and sweeter than king crab. It is a staple for sushi bars, shabu restaurants, seafood buffets and hotels. K.K.&K. imports from both Japan and Russia in several formats to suit different kitchen workflows.

The most frequently ordered format is Beni Zuwai (red snow crab) portion meat in 6L, 7L and 8L sizes, packed 1 kg per pack, 6 packs per carton. This is fully shelled, ready-to-use meat — no picking time in the kitchen and no waste, so per-plate cost is exact. It suits sushi, rice bowls, salads and any dish that needs clean crab strands.

For whole-leg presentation in buffets or hot pots, we carry boiled whole Zuwai 2L (200-250 g each, 5 kg per carton) and snow crab clusters at 5-8 oz per piece. Trimmed HP (half portion) packs come in 250 g, 400 g, 800 g and 1 kg — pack size can be matched to your turnover to reduce leftover stock.

We also supply snow crab shells in four sizes (SS, S, M and 10-11 cm), 100 pieces per carton, for baked crab shell dishes and premium plating, along with red snow crab claw meat (tsumeniku) and seasonal fresh Zuwai.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Zuwai, snow crab and Beni Zuwai the same thing?
Zuwai (ズワイガニ) and snow crab are the same crab under different names. Beni Zuwai (紅ズワイ), or red snow crab, is a closely related species with a redder shell and similarly sweet meat at a more accessible price — which is why it is the usual choice for ready-shelled portion meat.
How is Zuwai different from king crab, and which should I choose?
King crab has large, chunky meat with a stronger flavour and thick legs — good when the visual impact of the leg is the selling point. Zuwai has finer, strand-like meat with a softer sweetness that works well in sushi, rice bowls and hot pot. On cost, Zuwai is easier to manage at volume, especially as ready-shelled portion meat. Many restaurants use king crab as the showpiece and Zuwai as the buffet base.
What is the difference between 6L, 7L and 8L portion meat?
The size number indicates the size of the meat pieces — higher numbers mean larger pieces with longer, cleaner strands. 8L suits dishes where the crab is presented whole on top, such as sushi or rice bowls, while 6L works well where the meat is mixed in, such as crab salad, fillings and soups. All sizes are packed 1 kg per pack, 6 packs per carton.
Is there a minimum order for wholesale Zuwai, and how is it delivered?
There is no minimum order, and pack sizes can be matched to your turnover. Delivery is temperature-controlled cold chain throughout, free within Bangkok on orders from 3,000 THB. For quotations, call 02-136-1464 or email online@kkank.com.
