The "Yaki-gani" grilled crab, prepared right in front of you, fills the air with a wonderful aroma and lets you savor the sweet, rich flavor of premium crab in a truly luxurious experience.
オグゾー
The crab was served freshly boiled. It was impressively large, though it was not as full of meat as expected. Still, the quality justifies the JPY 5,000 price for crab alone. Thanks to its popularity on YouTube, reservations have become difficult to secure, but the reasonable pricing leaves a positive impression. Perhaps because it was freshly boiled and so fresh, the Benizuwaigani crab was especially delicious.

The Gozen set features a full array of Toyama’s culinary specialties, including white shrimp sashimi, white shrimp somen noodles (especially delicious with a rich dashi broth), firefly squid with vinegar miso, a small hot pot of genge (eelpout) fish, steamed red snow crab, and grilled yanagi hachime (rockfish), among others. Every dish is outstanding, allowing you to fully savor the flavors of this port town at a reasonable price. It’s no surprise this restaurant is so popular. For visitors from outside the prefecture, the Dairyo Gozen is highly recommended.

Red Snow Crab
Exceptionally sweet and delicious crab. Perhaps because it’s freshly boiled, the shell cracks open easily—simply perfect! The shoulder meat is abundant and wonderfully plump. From the first bite to the last, there’s absolutely no need for any dipping sauce. The natural flavor of the crab, combined with just a touch of salt from boiling, is more than enough to enjoy. Crab truly is a delicacy.

Snow Crab Gozen
The natural sweetness of the crab shines on its own, but I also enjoyed it with a side of vinegar. The kani miso (crab tomalley) was excellent, and the steamed vegetables offered a nice change of pace between bites. I ended up ordering another draft beer. I was told I eat quickly! The deep-fried crab shell was also delicious, especially with the flavorful sauce. Afterwards, I had some chilled sake—Masuizumi—which was superb. I was delightfully full and a little tipsy. The meal concluded with miso soup and crab yaki-nabe rice, both of which were outstanding.

It was part of that same morning's catch so it had a clean, refreshing finish. You can fully enjoy the pure, delicious taste of crab that rivals even king crab.

The texture and flavor differ slightly from the fluffy, sweet, and densely packed meat of tag-bearing snow crab, but this is unmistakably authentic snow crab. Enjoy a whole freshly caught and boiled crab, sure to satisfy both your heart and your appetite. You can also observe the auction and the boiling process, making this a must-visit for crab enthusiasts—an experience worth paying an extra fee for.

I decided to try the Kobako crab, which was available on the menu. I believe it was my first time tasting this type of crab from the Hokuriku region, and it was truly delicious. Perhaps it's thanks to the chef's excellent sourcing and preparation, but the quality was outstanding. The crab was also filled with rich kani miso, which I enjoyed in no time at all.

It's Koshino Benizuwaigani! The staff member skillfully prepared the crab for easy eating, so I could enjoy picking up the meat with chopsticks, cracking the shell, and savoring every bite—finally, the moment I'd been waiting for with this delicious crab. Midway through, the tempura of genge (rockfish) arrived. The tender flesh and crispy bone crackers of this rare "phantom fish" were a treat! Returning to the crab, I enjoyed the claw meat, and finally, the rich crab miso from the shell.
