Where to have Crab dinner in Kyoto? 2014/10/14 18:40

Hi! where can we sample Crab dinner where they have several crab courses?
I think it will be an interesting treat for my parents who are coming with me to Kyoto this weekend. Thank you

If you go to the covered arcades (where the famous indoor market is - I forget its name for the moment), there's a crab restaurant there, with an enormous 3D moving crab on the shopfront.

The market (which is worth walking through) runs in an East to West direction in a straight line. About half way along the market is another covered arcade which runs North to South. If you head North up this arcade, you pass a lot of different shops (cafes, clothes shops, shoe shops, etc) until you get to almost the top of the arcade and you can see the enormous crab. Directly opposite it is (if I recall correctly) a beef butchers with an amazing display of marbled beef in the window. There's also a Japanese print shop (ukiyo-e).

I've never eaten in this restaurant, but I've used it for navigation a couple of times because it stands out so strikingly. I call it "Kani corner". They have several crab courses.

I believe the poster just above me was talking about Kani Doraku

There are also other locations throughout Kyoto, Osaka and other areas of the Kansai area and also the Kanto area

Even if you don't eat there, the giant crab on the outside of the building makes a great photo opportunity ;0)

We don't have anything like that in the UK (shame!)

I've eaten at the one in Dotonbori, and I can easily say that it was a great food experience. Though that might just be because I love crab meat..
