I always wanted to try Kanimasumi. The staff boil the crab right in front of you and serve it on the spot. The staff were friendly and the food was delicious! I think I ate a year's worth of crab. The spring rolls and the rice at the end were especially amazing.

A luxurious crab specialty restaurant where you can enjoy a full-course meal with freshly prepared crab in a completely private room right in front of you! The decor is elegant and exudes a sense of luxury, typical of Kita-Shinchi. Highly recommended for dates, gatherings, business entertainment, and meetings. All rooms are private, and can accommodate up to 20 people in individual rooms, so it's a great choice for party organizers. When we visited, a group of famous baseball and soccer players who had caused a stir during the WBC were in the neighboring private room! Oh, how I wish I were a mama in Kita-Shinchi so I could shamelessly ask for autographs, but alas, the group in the next room was quite impressive. Nevertheless, we held our own with the delightful Hi-Heel Momoko and her friends, laughing, chatting, and enjoying our meal. Eating crab doesn't have to be a silent affair, right? Not here. They make it easy for us to eat the crab, so we can relax and enjoy ourselves. This season, they serve both King Crab and Snow Crab. A 4kg King Crab from Japan is truly impressive! I thought it might be overpowering, but it was delicious. As a fan of Matsuba Crab, I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty the King Crab was. I ordered both King Crab and Snow Crab, but if you choose one, it should be cheaper than the reference price. Despite being quite full, I couldn't resist the bamboo shoot rice at the end. The "Chef's Special Course" includes: - 3.8kg Hokkaido King Crab, 2 Snow Crabs - Clam and Sea Urchin Soup - Firefly Squid, Abalone Liver Salad, Sea Urchin and Squid, Deep-Fried Tofu Skin - Snow Crab Sashimi - King Crab Shabu-Shabu - Snow Crab Boiled - King Crab Boiled with Caviar - Snow Crab Shabu-Shabu - Bamboo Shoot Rice, Rape Blossom and Crab Miso Soup It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. Thank you very much for reading until the end. Your support through follows, likes, and saving the restaurant is truly appreciated. Please also check out my Instagram account.

When you feel like eating some good crab, you should definitely go to Kani Zen. It's so delicious, why is it so tasty? This time, I splurged on a more expensive option, and a huge crab was served. But I think regular crab might be tastier! The flavor and cooking were amazing, but I think I'll stick to regular crab next time! Anyway, this was the best!!!! There were so many great things to enjoy, so look forward to going there. It was really delicious! I'll definitely go again. Thank you.

I went there for the first time. The crab course meal had different ways of eating and cooking, such as grilling, boiling, tempura, sashimi, and boiling. The staff handled everything for us, so our hands didn't get dirty. It was amazing. In the end, we had porridge and melon, and everything was delicious. However, it was quite expensive. It cost around 60,000 yen for drinks. Despite that, I was satisfied. I will definitely go back.

Crabzen offers a full course of live Matsuba crab directly delivered from Tottori Port! The restaurant provides private rooms for all guests. As someone who enjoys the live atmosphere at the counter, I was slightly disappointed. However, the spacious private rooms offer a quiet and perfect setting for special occasions. The food is undeniably delicious! When the Hana-saki sashimi arrived, I was thrilled and exclaimed, "This is it! This is what I wanted to eat!" The sashimi was fresh, sweet, and made me feel happy. The following dishes that came out one after another were all enjoyable, and the boiled crab and crab hot pot were expertly prepared in front of us, providing a luxurious dining experience. I hardly got my hands dirty during the meal.

Kitashinchi, enjoying crab. A full course meal of snow crab in a private room. Thank you for the feast.

We visited a restaurant with private rooms where it was okay to bring children, so we went with another family we knew. The children were delighted and having a great time. The staff served the crab dishes and divided them for us. Usually, eating crab can be a quiet and serious affair, but we had a lively and enjoyable time together. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Crab in Osaka is expensive! I had never eaten crab outside of Osaka before, but I remember that the meal at Kanimi-san was around 20,000 to 30,000 yen per person! The white meat was incredibly firm and delicious. The meal was full of crab dishes, and I ended up covered in crab. I will definitely go back to get covered in crab again.

Today, I visited the highly acclaimed restaurant Kaniyoshi to enjoy their full course meal featuring live Matsubagani crab directly sent from Tottori Port. While they may not have the dramatic performance of cutting the live crab like Kitafuku, the crab legs, claws, body, and shell are conveniently cut for easy consumption, with the shell serving as a container for the crab miso. This allows for a clean and delicious dining experience. The menu included crab sashimi, grilled crab, shell with plenty of crab miso, crab sukiyaki, shabu-shabu, and crab porridge, all showcasing the rich flavor and sweetness of the Matsubagani crab. It was a truly blissful moment. Due to the scarcity of snow crabs this year, the price has skyrocketed, making it a luxury item. The cost of today's menu was 92,000 yen, with the Matsubagani full course priced at 45,000 yen. The menu also featured clams from Chiba, salt-grilled live sea bream from Ehime, cod milt ponzu from Hokkaido, shrimp salted fish, Chita beef tataki, Matsubagani crab sashimi and grilled legs, claws, and crab miso, crab suki hot pot, crab porridge, pickles, Shizuoka muskmelon, and other drinks.

A sophisticated and elegant restaurant with all private rooms, where you can enjoy live Taraba crab. Carefully selected live Taraba crab is prepared in front of you, and you can enjoy every part of the crab. Appetizers: Matsutake mushroom, Steamed in a pot Hokkaido live Zuwai crab: Shabu-shabu crab miso hot pot Hokkaido live Taraba crab: Leg meat (sashimi, shabu-shabu), Spicy leek (rare), Nanban (medium rare), Shoulder meat (boiled) Main dish: Clay pot cooked mixed rice Dessert: Shizuoka Musk melon

The first meal of the year was at "Kanizen". It's been difficult to get a reservation lately because they only have 3 private rooms. This time, I had the snow crab course for 25,000 yen (excluding tax). It was paired with a champagne called "Pork Crown" that went really well with the crab. This was my 4th or 5th time at Kanizen, and I think this time the crab and champagne were the best. The restaurant seems to be evolving every time I visit, and the food keeps getting more delicious. The manager is very kind and friendly, which also makes the dining experience pleasant. I just wish it was easier to make a reservation.

The beautifully decorated private room is the perfect space to use for special occasions. Today, a quite large snow crab was served and it was very delicious. The pleasant service also made the meal even more enjoyable. Personally, I felt a bit disappointed with the appetizer. The meat dishes may have been pre-made, which is understandable, but they could have been warmer to enhance the taste. Overall, it's a restaurant that makes you want to go back again.

Despite taking measures against COVID-19, Kaniyoshi-san's restaurant was fully booked with private rooms during the crab season. It's a popular spot! The owner goes to Hokkaido once a month for sourcing. On this day, we had both Taraba and Zuwai crab courses. The private rooms were all cozy and had a sense of secrecy. The course prices are based on market prices, and with drinks, it's around 30,000 to 40,000 yen per person. The restroom is unisex and clean. This restaurant is recommended for business dinners and dates.

Kanizen in Kitashinchi is a high-end crab restaurant with private rooms only. It was difficult to find a crab specialty store in May as the snow crabs were already finished. I had just been to "Kanijen" in the same Kitashinchi area in February, so I was looking for something a bit different. That's how I ended up at Kanizen. The restaurant is located right next to Hananao on Kamidori Street. It is a new restaurant that opened in 2018 with only three private rooms, offering a luxurious dining experience where the chef cooks in front of you, similar to Kanijen. The main difference is that Kanijen has a Western-style table seat, while Kanizen has a Japanese-style sunken hearth seat. Both places are quite expensive and exude a sense of luxury. The meal started with a beautifully arranged plate of appetizers, including grilled clams, Hokkaido sea urchin, live octopus marinated in herbs, firefly squid with vinegar miso, and young corn. The presentation was exquisite, reminiscent of a high-end traditional Japanese restaurant. Next, a 3-kilogram Hokkaido live king crab was served, which is extremely rare as 99% of king crabs are imported from Russia. The chef skillfully dismantled the crab in front of us, showcasing a show-like performance. We started with the largest leg portion called the "stick leg," enjoying it as shabu-shabu and sashimi. The king crab was incredibly flavorful, with no hint of the typical crab odor when it's still alive. We then moved on to the "rakkyo," a part of the stick leg that resembles a scallion. It was sweet and delicious, enjoyed on its own. The popular grilled crab was served next, grilled over charcoal. The claw and the meat between the claws, known as "bonbori," were particularly flavorful. The king crab, being from the spider crab family, has less crab miso and a unique flavor. However, the "fundoshi" part on the belly side is a rare delicacy and was indeed a unique and delicious experience. The meal ended with crab rice cooked in a pot and miso soup, providing a light and satisfying conclusion. Despite feeling quite full by the end of the meal, we managed to enjoy a champagne fruit platter for dessert, as my companion wasn't fond of melon. The restaurant graciously accommodated the sudden change, serving a refreshing and elegant fruit platter with champagne poured over it, a fitting end to the meal. Overall, I was thoroughly satisfied with both the flavors and the portions. I had underestimated Hokkaido king crabs, thinking they couldn't compare to snow crabs, but the live Hokkaido king crab was truly exceptional. The total bill, including alcohol, came to 42,000 yen per person, which seemed reasonable considering the high-quality private dining experience and the live Hokkaido king crab. If you're a crab lover, this is definitely worth the price for the live king crab. It's essential to inquire with the restaurant about seasonal availability before visiting. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

It was delicious. The private room was cozy, clean, and had a nice open feel. The cherry blossoms in the room were beautiful too! The food was outstandingly delicious. The way it was cooked was also very good. I felt happy to eat at the best timing. I had a really good time being provided with top-notch hospitality, food, and atmosphere. I had ordered a birthday cake when making a reservation, and they accommodated my request. They even prepared flowers, showing their amazing responsiveness and warm-hearted consideration. Thank you very much.

・Experience the most luxurious crab in Osaka. ・Brings back memories of Hokkaido.

We enjoyed various dishes with over 3 kilograms of pond taraba crabs for two people. However, we gradually got tired of it towards the end.

The concept is certainly good, but I felt that the portion size of the dishes was small for the price. I didn't feel like visiting again at that price range. The dishes seemed lacking in creativity, relying on the use of high-end ingredients.

I am impressed by the way they skillfully prepare the crab right in front of you! It's amazing to see the live crab brought in and prepared.
