Osaka, Japan｜Kani Doraku Dotombori Nakamise

Got a river side view on the second floor. Service staff was professional. Food was fresh and tasty. Definitely worth the amount we paid (8800¥) per pax.

A stellar experience, but one that I would recommend only if: - You like crab (duh). - You like all sorts of Japanese cuisine and are experienced with eating Japanese food. At this restaurant, crab is really showcased not just on its own, but also as a key ingredient in a lot of traditional Japanese dishes, such as Tempura, Sukiyaki, Nigiri, as well as comfort dishes like Miso Crab and Crab Gratin. The crab is excellent, fresh tasting, and immaculately prepared to make it as easy to get the crab meat. As a part of dishes like Nigiri and Gratin it is excellent. In fact I highly recommend Miso Crab and Crab Gratin, both based on comfort dishes but taste really good here. A fair word of warning - there is 0 explanation in English apart from an English Menu. Be prepared to use your Japanese listening skills...it's actually not super tourist friendly. When I went the restaurants customers were mostly Japanese. You need a reservation as well generally. The service is amazing though - if you can understand it. I would recommend getting a different set per person so you can try a wide variety of dishes.

A must try crab restaurant!! We’ve booked a private room for two with a nice and comfortable ambience. The restaurant served crab in many different styles, yummy and fresh. Staffs were cheerful and friendly.
