This waterfront restaurant immediately caught our attention due to the enormous crab sculpture adorning its facade. The restaurant is conveniently located near a corner, so it's hard to miss. Upon entering, we saw the tank with live crabs and initially thought we'd have to select our own, but that ...wasn't the case. We were directed to an elevator and instructed to remove our shoes upon reaching the dining floor, so be sure to wear socks or have something to cover your feet, especially when using the restrooms (where slippers are provided). I was not aware of the multiple dining levels. We were fortunate to be seated on the highest floor, offering a relaxing window-side view of the streets below. Ordering was seamless through the tablets on the table. We ordered crab tempura, a chicken hot pot, a decadent crab and melted cheese dish, and refreshing beverages. Everything was impeccably fresh and delicious, with attentive service throughout our meal. Despite our initial satisfaction, we couldn't resist ordering more (we were still hungry). We ordered vegetarian sushi, rice, another round of the crab and cheese delight, and noodles. You can order some items a la carte. But most of the options is a fixed price menu with "bundled meals" that include crab prepared in several different ways (grilled, fried, hot pot), with soup, green tea, ect. For crab enthusiasts, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. The prices are fair, and the food exceeds expectations. Highly recommended for an exceptional crab dining experience with a memorable ambiance.

This is a crab specialty restaurant in Dotombori Osaka which requires reservation days in advance. We were lucky to be offered seats at 5pm on the same day. The special set menus usher in the cherry blossom season with splendour. Everything was so delicate with crab as the main theme. It was just so... extravagant, a must try for anyone to Osaka.

I made a reservation here for my wife and me as it looked like a good place to try a variety of crab dishes. We got off to a bad start as the guy on the first floor was semi-rude and less than helpful when we arrived. We eventually got seated but no one ever showed up. We had several menus, som...e with prices some without. Most were only in Japanese, There was also an online menu but it didn’t provide any details in English as to what was included in the dinner. We had a number of questions about the menu and wanted to order drinks. After 20 minutes no one had came to our table so we left. This was our only bad restaurant experience during our 2 weeks in Japan.

I have been at the door of this restaurant forty years ago and didn't try it out. I decided I must try it this time. I enjoyed the dining experience for the food they offered, the service they provided and it is entertaining to have the night spent there. There are three size of crabs to choose. You... can choose to have it in Sabu Sabu, BBQ or normal cooking by chefs. With a crab they cooked in many different ways and seven out of nine, I found they matched my taste buds and palatable. it is entertaining of the traditional Japan decorations, cooking rice at your table and waiter dressed in traditional dress and served in traditional way. Service was very good. I will recommend not to miss visiting this place. Value for money.
