I'd presume it is kani miso from King crab or snow crab.
Have you tried it personally? If so, how did you find the taste and
texture?

Sure, I get it quite often and it's pretty cheap - something like
150 or 200 yen for two pieces. It's usually not just the kani
miso, though. Most places put a little bit of shredded crap on
the rice, then add a dollop of kani miso on top. It's tasty and
the texture is fine, but I prefer just kani miso by itself, especially
if it's eaten directly from a freshly boiled crab. As gunkan maki
the taste is muted a bit too much by the rice and nori.
