They say you can enjoy live kani (crab), including Echizen-gani (Echizen crab) sourced from Echizen Fishing Port, shipped directly from around Japan and prepared in a variety of ways.
The "Echizen-gani Sumibiyaki (charcoal grilled Echizen crab)" is said to pair the rich flavor of the crab with the toasty aroma of charcoal for pure bliss.
The “kani dog” is a very popular hand rolled sushi. Rice mixed with Hairy Crab meat is wrapped in nori (seaweed) and topped with caviar and chopped green onion.
The crisp texture of the nori is fun, and the aroma of shiso (perilla) spreads nicely.

We each ate one whole kani (crab). It was a great meal, and we got to enjoy its good flavor in all kinds of ways, including kani sashimi (crab sashimi), boiled kani, grilled kani, and kani-shabu (crab hotpot). This is the time of year when you just have to eat kani.

To start with the conclusion, I highly recommend it！！！A crab this big, with such thick legs, is a real showstopper, and I don't think you can easily find one like this in Nagoya. The plump, springy meat is very satisfying to eat, and the portion is more than enough for two people to share.

This restaurant lets you enjoy fresh zuwaigani (snow crab) shipped directly from the Shinminato and Himi fishing ports.
They also offer a course where you can enjoy hamayude zuwaigani (salt-boiled snow crab). Zuwaigani raised in Toyama Bay is said to have a rich flavor.
The lunch-time-only Gozen set lets you casually enjoy local cuisine from Toyama.
The “Himi udon (hand-stretched udon from Himi) Gozen set” is a lunch set that comes with tawara onigiri (straw-bale-shaped rice balls) and tempura. The Himi udon is said to have a firm bite and an irresistibly smooth texture.

Benizuwai-gani (red snow crab) has a strong sweetness, and the firm, juicy meat is delicious☺️Eating the crab miso together with the crab meat was the best!

The zuwaigani (snow crab) we had today was as fresh as it gets,, and you rarely get to eat crab at this level(#^.^#)My favorite in particular was the kani miso (crab tomalley) and crab gratin packed with crab meat, such a standout dish it stays in your memory～

Guided by the motto of eating as much crab as possible today‼︎, I hardly ordered any side dishes and focused on the crab lol. The crab had a rich flavor and was delicious, and I kept eating until I was satisfied. As a crab lover, I was completely Manzoku. I’d like to visit again.

Togezuwai-gani (spiny snow crab) has a rich flavor and tastes great! The meat is easy to pull from the shell, so it slips right out and is a pleasure to eat! It really matters when you can get the meat out cleanly! The saltiness comes through nicely, and I just kept eating.

The winter only "seiko-gani (female snow crab)" is a popular menu item that requires a reservation. They boil it while keeping it fresh so none of the good flavor escapes.
It is packed with uchiko (immature roe) and sotoko (outer roe), and its rich taste is said to be addictive.
The "kanimiso korayaki (grilled crab miso in the shell)" is a dish of grilled crab miso topped with egg yolk. Breaking the yolk adds a mellow richness.
The sharpness of the green onion and its crisp texture make a nice accent.

Just as I was finishing the kobako-gani (female snow crab), the evening’s main dish appeared: a male zuwai-gani (snow crab). It was a fairly large male crab with a tag from Echizen Port. The shell and legs were arranged on the plate, with several pieces of side meat alongside them. Side meat usually has a dry texture and some off notes, but tonight’s male crab came with the manager’s seal of approval, and it was sweet and very tasty.

It comes with the meat neatly flaked off the shell so it is easy to eat, and the flavor has rich umami. My favorite uchiko (rich roe) is also full-bodied, and it tastes great when eaten with the flaked meat☆

The "kani-guratan (crab gratin)" is a dish that pairs fragrant crab meat with a rich and creamy house white sauce.
The white sauce contains finely chopped carrots, which give it a gentle sweetness.
まえみょん
The kani-shabu (crab shabu-shabu), hon-tarabagani (red king crab) steak, and kani-sashi (raw crab sashimi) were all excellent. I really hope you try these three dishes. The kani-sashi has a melt-in-your-mouth texture and sweetness, and you could eat as much of it as you want. The crab steak is very thick and has a different kind of sweetness from the sashimi.

・zuwai gani (snow crab) shabu-shabu
The crab for the shabu-shabu comes with the shell removed, so you just dip it into the broth, swish it around, and eat it〜♪ The crab meat is so sweet♡ It melts in your mouth. There are 5 large pieces per person. A great way to really enjoy crab〜♪

The crab, slowly simmered, has a strong sweetness and is said to be so good you will not be able to stop eating.

The kani (crab) sashimi and grilled kani were the best, and really let us enjoy the crab itself✨The kani Hot Pot also had plenty of crab, so it was the best kind of full-on crab feast. The final zosui (rice porridge) was packed with concentrated crab flavor, so we could enjoy the crab right to the very end!

You can really taste the rich flavor of kani (crab) in every dish, and just like the name suggests, you can fully enjoy a true “kani-zukushi (all-crab feast)”! The kamameshi (rice cooked in an iron pot) in particular had a great aroma, and the fluffy rice was full of the sweet flavor of the crab, making it especially good.

You can enjoy all the classic crab dishes here: sashimi, grilled crab, steamed crab, sushi, and tempura! I thought grilled crab really is the best, so next time I visit, I want to focus on the grilled crab. But I also wanted to try kani-shabu (crab hotpot), so I’d like to have that next time.

Aichi Prefecture [Toyohashi City] Restaurants Where You Can Enjoy Crab Dishes
Photograph:だいまじん
Genji Sohonten is a restaurant in Toyohashi, Aichi, that serves shabu-shabu and crab.
Inside, the table seating comes in two styles: kura-zukuri (storehouse-style) and hira-zukuri (flat-style). There are 11 Private rooms in total, available for parties of 2 or more.
Their most popular course lets you enjoy snow crab and Special beef shabu-shabu.
The snow crab shabu-shabu is appealing for its melt-in-your-mouth texture, different from grilled crab. It has a strong sweetness, and you can really sense how fresh it is.
Photograph:みつきmogmog
The "hon-zuwai-gani (snow crab) ishiyaki steak" is also a recommended menu item. After spreading butter on the piping hot stone, they boldly grill the snow crab and eat it with a squeeze of lemon juice.
The toasty aroma unique to ishiyaki (stone grilling), along with the flavors of butter and lemon, makes it taste incredibly good.
ｽｹ
Needless to say, the kani (crab) is delicious♪ Whether grilled, raw, or boiled, each style brings out a different flavor of kani! I don’t usually have it raw or lightly grilled at home, so that makes me happy too♪ It’s so rich and melty that you’ll get hooked♪
