The 20 Best Crab Restaurants in Japan

The course where you can enjoy as much crab and wagyu beef as you like is truly like a dream. The snow crab and king crab are both packed with meat and have a rich sweetness. In particular, the sukiyaki made with Miyazaki beef has a deep flavor in the broth, and when dipped in egg, it becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender. The vegetables and tofu also absorb the umami, making it hard to put down the chopsticks. The restaurant is clean, and the staff kindly explains everything, so even first-timers can enjoy it with peace of mind. The cute illustrated door and the smiles of the international guests left a strong impression, making the dining experience even more enjoyable.

I visited Crab Balloon for the first time this time. I had the king crab and snow crab lunch set. It was very delicious, and I was full and satisfied. The only disappointment was that in the photo of the snow crab set, there was crab sashimi, but there was only a little crab sashimi, and it was mostly tuna and other sashimi. I chose the snow crab set because I wanted to eat crab sashimi, so it was disappointing. However, the food was delicious, so I would like to go again. Thank you, it was a feast.

I made a reservation and enjoyed a full course of Echizen crab bliss. Starting with sashimi, then seiko crab, crab sashimi, boiled crab, and crab rice, everything was delicious. The boiled crab was prepared by the staff, so I could enjoy my meal without getting my hands dirty. Since I was the only one not driving, I enjoyed some sake paired with the dishes. I also had grilled mackerel sushi, which was very tasty. I definitely want to go eat there again. Thank you for providing such a wonderful time today.

The course of food was substantial, flavorful and satisfying. Although the quantity was small compared to the price, I was impressed by the quality of the ingredients and the care with which they were prepared. We enjoyed the delicious food. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

Instead of a course, they offered an à la carte option, so it was great to be able to choose according to how my stomach felt.

I was first excited to see the craftsman skillfully preparing crabs at the counter. When I compared the sashimi of live king crabs, snow crabs, and hairy crabs, I could clearly distinguish the sweetness and texture differences of the meat. After that, the cooking methods changed one after another, including rare, boiled, grilled, tempura, and shabu-shabu, and I was never bored. The fragrant grilled crab was particularly rich in flavor, and it was so delicious that everyone fell silent. The finishing crab porridge was luxuriously made with black truffle, and it was the most shocking porridge I have ever eaten. Even the refreshing fruits for dessert were carefully prepared, making it a wonderful restaurant where the excitement continued from start to finish.
