Osaka, Japan｜Kani Doraku Dotonbori Higashi Mise

To go place in Osaka if you wish to try snow crab. Be mindful to make a reservation as they tend to be fully booked especially on weekends. Be ready for a sumptuous crab feast when you order their set meal. The crabs served are fresh and sweet, not something one can find easily outside of Japan. If you order sukiyaki or shabu set meal, it ends with porridge made from the leftover soup. Quite a pleasant way to finish off the meal I must say.

We have been to the Tokyo branch several times. This was our first visit in Osaka. Friendly and professional staff! Spoke English really well too! Prepare for some crab greatness! Depending on which menu you choose, you will sample their famous snow crab in different ways: As sashimi, grilled, boiled, fried etc... They also have king crab, which was great as well. I liked the sashimi and shabu shabu style the best, and the grilled the least (too dry). A bigger menu takes around two hours to finish, and in the end you will feel that you have eaten your crab quota for the rest of the year. If you're in Japan, try the snow crab at least once! Remember to book a table first!

My favourite Osaka crab restaurant! Definitely a must do/eat/try while in Osaka and I highly recommend this restaurant. Service is excellent, food presentation is perfect and the crab is so fresh and sweet! The price is also reasonable (see menu in pic below) and has a nice view of Tombori river too! Triple thumbs up! すごい おいしい(Sugoi Oishii) 👍👍👍
