Wajima Crab Festival

The Wajima Crab Festival, an annual event that takes place in November, is a celebration of the fresh seafood from the Noto port. Wajima Marine Town is the host of the festival, which features a market, various stalls, and a large seating area where visitors can indulge in delicacies such as crab and seafood, Noto beef and wine. The festival also offers a chance to enjoy taiko drum performances, and for the adventurous, an opportunity to grill whole crabs over an open-air charcoal grill.

One of the highlights of the festival will be a special crab soup (kani-jiru) made generously with boiled Kōbako-gani. This soup will be offered free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis, with 500 servings available.
