I went to Kanidoraku Umeda store. Although it wasn't a private room, I thoroughly enjoyed the crab. I forgot to take a few photos, but my favorite was the crab sake. Of course, the grilled crab was delicious too! The crab miso was a bit too sticky in my mouth even though I like crab miso, but everything else was great!

I tried the Kani Doraku lunch for the first time, the Smiling Flower course for 4,400 yen. I planned to add grilled crab, but I ended up getting quite full and didn't order it. The sashimi was sweet but the meat was soft and hard to pick up. It's the most expensive course for lunch, but it felt a bit lonely with just a little bit of crab.

Kani Douraku is a restaurant that I sometimes feel like visiting because their crab sashimi is very delicious. This time, I decided to have crab for dinner in Umeda, so I went to Kani Douraku Umeda branch. I usually order my favorite dishes separately, but this time I tried the course menu. It was a nice change. There were some dishes in the course that I wouldn't normally order, but they turned out unexpectedly delicious. It was a great experience.

I visited at 6:00 PM on Saturday. It's better to make a reservation as the seats were filled up. I ordered the Misaki course. The photos show only the chawanmushi and the final dessert, but there were also dumplings, sushi, and more. The room has a private atmosphere, allowing you to enjoy your meal without worrying about the surroundings.

I love the crab sashimi at Kani Doraku, so whenever I crave crab, this is the place I go to. This time, I visited the store in Umeda, Osaka. With the situation improving due to COVID-19, it has become harder to make reservations at Kani Doraku, but I managed to secure one. It's a bit pricey, but the sashimi is delicious as always.

These days when crab prices are soaring, I felt like indulging in a classic crab feast and decided to visit Kani Doraku. I ordered a variety of dishes such as crab chirashi, crab sukiyaki, crab vinegar, crab sashimi, grilled crab, tempura, crab rice, and a crab course meal. Everything was delicious, but the crab rice was especially tasty. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Today, although a bit early, I went to Kani Doraku with my colleagues for a year-end party. It was a rare luxury! I can't remember the name of the course, but various dishes came out. First, there was crab vinegar and pumpkin something, then a la carte grilled crab, crab tempura, and various other dishes. But Asahi beer was the best! Of course, there was also a hot pot, delicious... Sorry, I love mushrooms so I was more interested in enoki mushrooms than crab. The finishing ochazuke was amazing! It was seriously delicious! As for the dessert, I'm not a fan of matcha ice cream, but my colleagues were devouring it, so it must be good. The service was extremely polite, which made me nervous, but I was very satisfied. Thank you very much. Now, let's go to Oozawa-san's place.

Last month, I had the "Akatsuki" course at the main store and it was delicious, so I couldn't resist trying it again for lunch (at a different location). This time, I chose a lunch set menu that was a good deal. The "Yuka" course priced at 3520 yen included a variety of crab dishes such as crab vinegar, crab chawanmushi, seasonal side dish, crab gratin with club sauce, crab tempura, crab rice cooked in a pot, pickles, and soup. I also had a bottle of beer priced at 693 yen. While the amount of crab might be a bit lacking for those who want to fully enjoy crab, I think it was a satisfying lunch overall. The crab rice cooked in a pot was especially delicious. The Umeda branch is not very conveniently located, but the spacious interior was a nice touch. Thank you for the meal.

The boiled crab dipped in vinegar is delicious. The sweet potatoes and chestnuts served with it were exquisite. The gratin, while lacking in crab flavor, was delicious as a Western-style gratin. The tempura had a generous amount of meat. The rice dish was delicious both as is and as ochazuke. The soup and crab paste were easy to eat with a gentle flavor. The green tea ice cream was rich and freshly made.

It's been about a year since I last visited Kani Doraku. I have visited the locations in Namba, Juso, and Esaka, but I find this one to be the most convenient. While being cautious of the coronavirus, I enjoyed dining out with the motto of having fun. I reserved a private room for the first time and used it. I usually only used the 8th floor, but I discovered that there is also a 7th floor with only private rooms, which was quite spacious and surprising. I usually order individual items, but this time I ordered the "Yuka" course for 3,800 yen, and added items like crab miso and grilled crab butter. The crab sashimi and crab vinegar were delicious, as expected, the raw crab is sweet and my favorite. Well, maybe my favorite is the shabu-shabu... The chawanmushi, gratin, tempura, everything was delicious. There is a sense of stability and no disappointments. The second serving of the kama-meshi was enjoyed with the broth. The variety of crabs and where they were caught are not a concern for me due to the affordable price, but the taste is consistently good. From the elderly to children, everyone can enjoy it without worries. In that sense, I would like to visit this chain restaurant frequently. If you want to eat crab, Kani Doraku is a good choice. Thank you for the meal.

I visited the restaurant in April 2021 for lunch. The location is within walking distance from Osaka Station. The atmosphere of the restaurant is spacious with high ceilings, and the tables are well spaced apart. The restroom had an automatic door at the entrance. The COVID-19 prevention measures were well implemented. I ordered the Otohime Lunch for 3080 yen. The meal included a basket with crab sashimi, crab chawanmushi, and crab salad. The crab chawanmushi was delicious. Then came the crab gratin, which was irresistible for gratin lovers. The crab tempura was crispy and tasty. The meal also included miso soup, crab mixed rice, and pickles. The crab meat was served separately, and we were supposed to mix it into the rice ourselves. I felt a bit misled because even though it was crab mixed rice, the crab wasn't actually cooked into the rice. The final course was ochazuke, which was delicious, but I couldn't quite understand the crab mixed rice situation.

I visited on a regular night. I had the Ougi course for 4800 yen + tax which included: - Appetizer - Crab vinegar - Crab sashimi - Crab chawanmushi - Grilled crab - Crab tempura - Crab rice - Pickles - Soup - Dessert During these times, it's great that even with a small group, you can dine in a private room. The crab kaiseki meal was delicious as expected. The staff's service was also good. Thank you for the meal.

The horsehair crab is easy to eat if it's already peeled, but at around 1500 yen, it's really cheap and only available in winter. At this price, you can eat a lot and save up. The taste is average, but considering it's crab, it's really cheap. When you want to casually eat some crab, Crab Kanidouraku is a reliable option. Plus, the fact that you can make same-day reservations is a big plus.

I have been familiar with the song from the Kani Doraku CM for a long time, but this was my first time visiting and I was pleasantly surprised. The private rooms are cozy and the atmosphere is top-notch for the price. It felt like dining at a high-class restaurant! I ordered a course meal and was very satisfied with the taste. The tempura was delicious! I definitely want to go back for more.

I remember the CM song "Tore Tore Peach Peach Kani Ryouri" from my childhood in the Kanto region, and it has stuck in my mind ever since. After many years, I finally decided to seek revenge on my incomplete crab feast experience by visiting a crab restaurant in Osaka. I chose this restaurant after researching, and upon arriving at the 8th floor of the building, I was greeted by a kimono-clad staff at the reception. The interior of the restaurant exuded a luxurious atmosphere, with individual sunken kotatsu-style tables. Despite the slight inconvenience of having to take off my shoes and use sandals when getting up, I found it to be a relaxing and enjoyable dining experience. The lunch course I ordered was around 4000 yen, which included sashimi, crab vinegar, chawanmushi, gratin, crab rice, tempura, and matcha ice cream. The portion size was not huge, but it was enough to make me feel full. The attentive service, frequent tea refills, and the serene atmosphere where conversations from neighboring tables were inaudible added to the overall satisfaction of the meal. Watching foreigners enjoying crab dishes in the distance made me feel a sense of pride. Overall, dining on a crab course in this elegant setting away from the hustle and bustle of Umeda was a delightful and luxurious experience. I would definitely visit again when I return to Osaka.

In Osaka's Umeda, there is a crab restaurant called "Kani Doraku." When craving crab, I went to a crab restaurant before and it was a big disappointment, so I decided to go to the reliable Kani Doraku. I ordered the "Takumi Aji" crab kaiseki set! It included grilled king crab, tempura with snow crab and king crab, hairy crab, and more. It was a crab feast and absolutely amazing. If you ever come to Umeda, definitely check it out!

I often use this place because you can easily enjoy a crab course. Before the pandemic, it was always full of foreign tourists and you couldn't get in without a reservation, but this time I was able to get in without a reservation. Besides the hot pot, the food is delicious. The female staff members are always kind and provide excellent service. Thank you for the wonderful meal.
