-About the recipe-

Blue crab croquettes are a delicious dish that combines Western cuisine with Japanese elements in Japanese food culture. Croquettes themselves are a popular Western dish in Japan, and the recipe using blue crab as a variation on that is an example of a dish that incorporates Japanese seafood.

These croquettes are fried and then baked in an oven to prevent them from bursting. This method is a characteristic cooking method that can also be seen in Japanese cuisine. For example, tempura is fried and then lightly baked in the oven to remove excess oil. Frying increases the flavor, and finishing in the oven removes excess fat, making the dish healthier and with a better texture.

Furthermore, the croquette's cream sauce incorporates Western elements such as onions, brandy, and Parmesan cheese, but at the same time, the Japanese ingredient blue crab is added to create a balance between Japanese and Western flavors. In some areas of Japan, you can enjoy blue crab during the season, and it is a popular dish to enjoy the rich seafood.
