Russian name: Японский Краб

The name means 'Japanese Crab' in Russian. Please do not use the translation as a variety name.

Tatiana's note: We do not support names translation, as it leads to confusion and the same variety being offered under different names. Please always use the original variety name to avoid confusion and preserve variety's roots and history. All the translated names are considered to be 'marketing' names, and not actual variety names.
