About a 10-minute walk from Susukino Station, there is a crab restaurant called Kanitei. It's located on the second floor of a small building, so it's easy to miss if you're not careful. The restaurant looks a bit old, which made me a little worried, but the staff warmly welcomed us. We were seated in a private room, but in the next room, there was a lively party going on. The thin sliding door didn't do much to block out the noise, but the staff apologized for the inconvenience. We opted for the Lilac Course priced at 7000 yen, debating whether to go for the 10,000 yen course. Since we had a 10,000 yen omakase at "Sushinoyamada" yesterday, we decided to save a bit today. The course included a sashimi platter, hairy crab, snow crab, grilled dish, fried dish (crab dumplings), buttered potatoes, crab rice porridge, dessert, allowing us to fully enjoy the flavors of Hokkaido. The sashimi was incredibly fresh and delicious, but the highlight was definitely the hairy crab! I've never seen such a big hairy crab before. And nothing beats freshly boiled warm hairy crab, a true Hokkaido delicacy. The buttered potatoes had a hint of sweetness, perhaps from sugar, which was different from what I expected, but still very tasty. The crab dumplings were delicious as well! I wish they sold these in local supermarkets. The crab rice porridge was a bit too filling for me, I prefer a lighter version. The food was truly delicious, the staff was warm and welcoming, leaving us feeling warm and satisfied both in body and soul.

In the Susukino area, there is a crab restaurant located on the second floor of a building just west of the center. I decided to splurge a little since I received a bonus, and went to a large crab restaurant in Susukino. However, it was full of foreign tourists and I couldn't get a seat. After visiting about six other places, all of which were full, I called this restaurant and they said they had a table available. The restaurant had a cozy Japanese atmosphere with sunken kotatsu-style seating and private rooms. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making it a comfortable place for tourists to dine. While the course meals featuring crab dishes seemed popular, I just wanted to enjoy boiled crab, so I ordered dishes like "Hairy Crab Assortment (medium size, market price)", "Butter-stewed Potatoes (600 yen)", "Grilled Squid (900 yen)", and "Crab Zosui Soup (850 yen)". The hairy crab was boiled fresh upon ordering, served piping hot and easy to eat. It had a delicate flavor and tender meat, very delicious. In addition to crab dishes, they also offer sashimi and grilled dishes typical of Hokkaido, so even if you're not a fan of crab, there are plenty of options. All the dishes I ordered were tasty, and the prices were reasonable compared to other crab restaurants, making it a great choice when you're craving delicious crab.

I want to eat Hanasaki crab. I had it once from someone in Nemuro, steamed it, and devoured its rich flavor. I called to make a reservation for Hanasaki crab, and went with my grandchild. Buttered potatoes for 600 yen are delicious when eaten in Hokkaido. They taste even better with the attached tsukudani. Boiled Hanasaki crab for 12,000 yen has a good separation of meat, with a rich taste. The miso and ovary are also good. Ah, this is it! The taste of the meat might be the best! Fried crab dumplings for 600 yen, crab porridge for 850 yen, and shishamo for 1,400 yen. I ate one before taking a picture! I was satisfied.

I wanted to eat crab, so I made a reservation here in Susukino to eat crab in a private room. It was a pity that there was no hot pot, but I had a platter of hairy crab and king crab grilled sashimi and grilled shishamo! They all tasted pretty average. There wasn't really anything impressive. Thank you for the meal!

I chose the 13500 yen all-you-can-eat crab course for my trip from Tokyo, wanting to enjoy some delicious crab. In the end, I was extremely satisfied. It was not cheap, especially since I went with my family, but we got to enjoy crab sashimi, both king crab and snow crab presented in their shells and then neatly peeled to serve only the meat, and even grilled crab in addition to boiled crab. We even had crab porridge at the end. Everything was so delicious that I definitely want to visit this restaurant again. Reservations are a must, so for those planning a trip to Sapporo, make sure to book early.

We visited this restaurant in Hokkaido for our honeymoon dinner. We ordered a course where we could enjoy all kinds of crab, including king crab and snow crab. Despite being allergic to crabs, I couldn't resist the temptation of tasting the blessings of the north in various ways - raw, steamed, and grilled. Why does crab have the power to make people speechless and happy? Perhaps the crab claws are trying to convey a message of "crab & peace", or so it seemed to me... The crab-flavored porridge served at the end was absolutely delicious. We dined on the second floor of the restaurant, and it felt like eating at a relative's house, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. I hope to save up and visit again next year.

A few years ago, I found this place online and booked the most extravagant course for my birthday, but couldn't finish it all. This time, I chose a crab course, considering my previous experience. I remember there was crab hot pot and fried dishes last time, so this time was just right and satisfying. The staff at the restaurant will shred the hairy crab for you, making it easy to eat and feel happy. The porridge at the end is the best!

I ordered a crab sashimi platter and crab porridge. I also tried the Genghis Khan dish but they only had small or large portions available, so I chose the small one and regretted it! I highly recommend getting the large portion. Even though I got the small one, the crab was sweet and delicious, and I was very satisfied! The crab was very tasty, and I would love to visit again when I travel to Hokkaido!

For our second meal in Hokkaido, of course we had to have crab. As soon as we sat down, we were rushed to finish in two hours which was a bit off-putting. The atmosphere was very much like "hurry up and eat" even though we were planning to leave right after eating. The sashimi and crab were delicious, although the crab didn't have a very strong flavor. The hot pot for two cost 20,000 yen... which is quite expensive.

I visit this restaurant almost every year. Just by looking at the souvenir shops, you can tell that the prices of seafood, including crab, have been soaring. However, even though the prices have gone up a bit, I was able to enjoy delicious crab at a very reasonable price again this year. We were seated in a private room, but the walls were thin, and you could hear a little bit of noise from the next room. Suddenly, a voice from the neighboring private room exclaimed, "This crab is the most delicious thing I've ever eaten in my entire life!" I share the same sentiment completely. I felt like poking a hole in the thin wall and saying, "Yes! I agree!" like talking to a friend. The best moment of my life is scooping up the freshly boiled crab miso from a hairy crab and enjoying it with warm sake at this restaurant. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

When it comes to Hokkaido, there are many famous dishes like Genghis Khan, miso ramen, and sushi, but you can't miss out on crab during this season. This restaurant offers a variety of crab dishes including sashimi, steamed, grilled, and creative dishes that are incredibly delicious. We had an abundance of crab that could probably last us a year, and each dish was so tasty. Especially the crab porridge at the end, even though we were full, we couldn't stop eating it!

I went to Kanitei located on the 2nd floor of Tada Building, 5-6 Minami 5 Nishi, Susukino. I had made a reservation in advance, so I was led to a private tatami room. You can hear the voices from the next room through the wall. I ordered the popular Crab Course which includes: Appetizer, Crab Sashimi or Snow Crab Sashimi, Boiled Snow Crab, Grilled Snow Crab, Crab Shumai, Snow Crab Japanese-style Steak, Crab Butter with Potatoes, Crab Porridge, Pickles, and Dessert. For parties of 4 or more, you can add a 2-hour all-you-can-drink option for an additional fee of 2,500 yen (tax included). The snow crab was delicious, but the king crab was a bit disappointing in terms of quantity and texture. However, considering the current high prices of crab, I appreciate that Kanitei is trying their best without raising their prices.

I was craving hairy crab, so I searched and found this restaurant. The course starts from 9000 yen, which is quite expensive, but it's hairy crab so it's worth it. I was with my child, but I was able to make a reservation. They served three types of crabs - snow crab, hanasaki crab, and hairy crab. I was surprised! All the sashimi and other dishes were delicious as well. The finale of the meal was a porridge served in a bowl, already prepared, and it was exquisite.

A crab restaurant in Susukino, Sapporo!! Crab course with boiled king crab, crab shumai, and crab steak! I don't usually eat raw hairy crab, but boiled hairy crab is still the best no matter what you eat! The reason why people from Hokkaido don't eat out for crab is this! The crab porridge was delicious!

Sapporo's famous restaurant! Today they were fully booked for courses, but I declined. Started with beer (coupon available) for free. ⭐️ Snow crab - medium size - ¥13,000 ➡️ 4 legs as sashimi, rest boiled. Insanely delicious! ⭐️ Asparagus with butter grilled - ¥900 ➡️ Small portion, not cost-effective. ⭐️ Butter simmered potatoes - ¥600 ➡️ Potatoes are sweet, nice with salt. 2 glasses of sake at ¥1,100 each. Snow crab is insanely delicious! Lots of meat! Want to come back. Thank you for the meal.

This is a restaurant where you can enjoy crab dishes at market prices. Live king crab sashimi, grilled, steamed, each priced at 8,250 yen. The sashimi was served in a beautiful flower shape, which was delicious but quite expensive. The abalone steak in Japanese style costs 3,000 yen, and it was a thick and tasty butter-grilled abalone. The sea urchin bowl costs 1,100 yen, and while it was a bit sticky, it was still decent. The crab cream puffs for 600 yen were crispy and delicious. Overall, the food was good but on the pricey side. They also offer a crab course for two or more people at 13,500 yen, which seems like a good deal if you have company. Since I'm not used to dining at expensive restaurants, these are just my personal impressions. Thank you for the meal.

I visited this restaurant for the first time, which is well-known among local residents and not geared towards tourists! We had a course meal, and the sashimi with seaweed was so delicious that I ate all of it without leaving any. The crab shumai was homemade and tasty, and the crab itself was served with butter and squid three-miso pickle, with such a generous portion that I even forgot to take a picture. The boiled hair crab, grilled snow crab, and grilled king crab were the largest I've ever seen in my life. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I wanted to eat delicious crab dishes in Sapporo, so I visited Kanitei. I was able to eat plenty of hairy crabs and king crabs in various dishes. Every crab was fresh and the dishes kept coming one after another. I have never been so full just from eating crab dishes. I wonder how much it would cost if I ate this in Tokyo. It's a very cost-effective restaurant. I highly recommend it to those who want to eat plenty of crab in Sapporo.

I visited this restaurant during a company trip. It may be rare nowadays to go on overnight company trips for relaxation, but it's quite nice to leave Tokyo once a year and have fun with everyone. I often come to Sapporo for business, but some members were visiting Susukino for the first time and requested to eat crab since we were in Hokkaido. We made a reservation at this place, which seems to be a famous restaurant featured in magazines. We ordered a set menu that included sashimi, fried crab shumai, boiled hairy crab, and a ¥2000 all-you-can-drink option, which is a tourist-friendly course. The fried shumai had juicy filling, and if you ask, they will help you get the meat out of the hairy crab (if the restaurant is not too busy). The sashimi was small but came with uni without alum, making it luxurious. The highlight was the baked potato butter squid with salted squid guts that came towards the end. The combination of sweet potato and spicy squid guts was excellent. We also ordered abalone steak as an extra. The only downside was that Sapporo Classic beer was not included in the all-you-can-drink option. However, this restaurant is recommended for those new to Hokkaido cuisine.

I was looking forward to it as a highlight of my trip to Hokkaido. The restaurant was bustling even on weekdays. This time, I wanted to eat hairy crab, so I chose the Lilac course. The sashimi was amazing. There were about 8 dishes in total. The hairy crab I was eagerly waiting for was the best!! The crab porridge at the end was also delicious. It was a great memory.

My colleague from Tokyo visited and wanted to eat crab, so I didn't choose a famous crab restaurant and instead went to a cozy hidden gem called Kanitei. We ordered a crab course and the dishes were full of crab. The impact of the crab was amazing. We enjoyed drinking sake from the crab shell. We ended up drinking too much while talking about work in a relaxed atmosphere like a traditional inn. I will definitely visit again.

During my business trip to Sapporo, I arrived at a normal dinner time for the first time, so I went to Kanitei as it was the last season for crab. It was Monday night, so the restaurant was not crowded. Besides me, there was another solo diner, so it seems relatively easy for business travelers to get a seat. I was introduced by the landlady and enjoyed a luxurious meal of half raw crab sashimi and half boiled crab. Eating a whole crab by myself is not something I do often, but the sweet and rich meat was so delicious that I didn't even need crab vinegar. It was a truly luxurious moment. Furthermore, the restaurant's famous shumai was tender, flavorful, not too greasy, and tasted better than it looked.
