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.

It was my first time there and the atmosphere was very nice. The customer service was also good.

On our wedding anniversary, my wife requested, 'I want to eat delicious crab,' so we visited Mahoroba Crab, recommended by a friend. I have been to many restaurants before, but here I experienced dishes and presentations that I had never encountered, and in a good way, my expectations were exceeded. We had a luxurious course using one live snow crab per person. The food was, of course, delicious, but the presentation of each dish, the timing of the service, and the ambiance were all meticulously crafted, making it possibly the best restaurant I have ever visited. The completely private room was also a great point, allowing us to relax without worrying about the surroundings, even with children. The staff's consideration was wonderful, and naturally, the conversation with my wife flowed, making it an unforgettable day for our family. It is a place I would like to visit again on a special day. Thank you for the wonderful time.

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.
