Crab, blowfish, and conger eel, live fish dishes, and sushi at Yamato in Yao City. It's a blog by an old man from Kawachi about his daily meals and occasional drinks. Located about a 15-minute walk from either Kintetsu Yao Station, Kintetsu Kyuhoji-guchi Station, or JR Kyuhoji Station, or Yao Station on the Kansai Main Line, it's a place where my partner, his mother, and I have our annual family year-end party. We always choose this place near Yao High School, where we've been coming for over 30 years. It's also where we had our first meeting with both families. The entire building was rebuilt in October 2018 and looks very beautiful. We were shown to our usual private room for four, with a sunken kotatsu table, which is very much appreciated by us with sore legs and backs. We had reserved, so the hot pot and appetizers were already set up. For the course hot pot, you can choose between crab suki with broth or crab chirashi with ponzu sauce. We always go for the crab suki. We started with some drinks: draft beer for me and oolong tea for my partner and his mother. We had the crab course (Akarui) for 12,650 yen, which includes appetizers, crab hot pot, crab sashimi, crab vinegar, crab tempura, grilled crab, crab miso, crab egg tofu, porridge, and fruit. The crab miso and crab egg tofu were delicious. The crab sashimi was fresh and sweet, and the crab vinegar was just the right amount of sweet and sour. The grilled crab had a nice balance of smoky and sweet flavors. The freshly fried crab tempura was crispy and light, and the crab tempura batter with rice was a must-try. We also ordered the crab tempura batter separately, as it's quite popular and tends to sell out quickly. It doesn't have a lot of crab on it, but it's great with rice. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience, and we left feeling satisfied and happy.

One of the winter delights for people in Kansai is to take a bus to places like Kinosaki, Hokuriku, Tottori, Tango, famous for crabs, and indulge in eating crabs. This has become a tradition. In recent years, due to the threat of COVID-19, it has been difficult to travel as freely as before. In such times, restaurants like Kanidoraku play an important role. There is a hidden crab restaurant in Yao that I visited for the first time. The restaurant seems to have been recently renovated, with a clean and pleasant interior. I ordered the Crab Set Meal (Wami) for 8140 yen, which included various crab dishes such as crab sukiyaki, crab vinegar, grilled crab, crab tempura, chawanmushi, crab chirashi sushi, red miso soup, and fruit. While the freshness may not be as good as certain chain stores, each dish was satisfying. The service was not as efficient as certain chain stores, but overall, the experience was enjoyable. It may not be worth traveling all the way to Osaka just for this level of deliciousness, but it's a matter of personal preference. Thank you for the meal. Ookini! ＼＼\\٩( 'ω' )و //／／ ===========

Recommended during the season for conger eel, it has a traditional ryokan-like atmosphere with a strong emphasis on delicious and hearty food. The service may be a bit lacking in speed and hospitality, but they prioritize cost performance. It is a safe restaurant where you can bring children without any worries.

Visited the restaurant to celebrate my father's 81st birthday. Despite making a reservation, we were only given a 2-hour time limit due to the restaurant being fully booked. It was my first time visiting since the renovation, and the place looked incredibly beautiful. We ordered the crab hot pot course. The crab was a bit messy, but overall, I think they did a good job (although it was a bit disappointing when crab shell ended up in my mouth). The most disappointing part was being rushed out of our seats after 2 hours. Also, the service during payment was not satisfactory.

It's a blog ⇒ Everyday meals of an Osaka old man, sometimes sake. The Kani bus tour that Osaka people love so much. It seems that people from Kanto cannot understand it, but it is a well-established culture in Kansai... (laughs) Our family used to go on trips by car or bus to places like Kinosaki, Kinosaki, and Yuhigaoka almost every year. But as we age, we find it increasingly cumbersome to go far... (;´･ω･) But I want to eat delicious crab! The first thing that comes to mind at such times is this place near Yasuko High School, "Yamato." I have been using it for nearly 30 years now. By the way, when my partner and I got married, we also had a face-to-face meeting here... (*´д｀)o・Perfect private room for New Year's crab course~♪(2021/01/05)・Celebrating my partner's mother's birthday at a famous restaurant in Yaotsu~♪(2020/03/10)・Family crab feast is a once-a-year treat~♪(2019/12/23)・A popular local crab cuisine specialty restaurant has been beautifully reborn and even better~♪(2018/12/30)・Kani Fugu Hamo Live Fish Cuisine Sushi Yamato @ Yaotsu City Hisaka Nara (2017/12/15)We used to have year-end parties all the time, but since last year, we have started using it for my partner's mother's birthday celebration in March. I really worry about where to take my 85-year-old mother since the outbreak of the new coronavirus. In that respect, Yamato has private rooms, so it's reassuring.◆Crab course (Tou) 8,800 yen (excluding tax) Remembering one of the courses to order... (laughs)・Appetizer・Crab hot pot・Crab vinegar・Crab miso・Crab egg tofu・Crab sashimi・Grilled crab・Crab tempura・Zosui (rice porridge)・Fruits◆Draft beer (large) 800 yen (excluding tax) A large beer glass that saves you from having to refill too many times when you start eating crab♪ My partner and mother-in-law have oolong tea (180 yen (excluding tax)). Bon appétit.・Appetizer The appetizer is sweet and savory cooked beans. The strong seasoning goes well with beer~(^_^)v・Crab hot pot The hot pot is brought out first. One claw per person, three leg meats, and the body part is hidden underneath. The size of the crab may vary slightly depending on the year, maybe because they use natural ingredients? Chinese cabbage, enoki mushrooms, mitsuba, tofu, kuzu strips, etc. Vinegar dishes and sashimi are served one after another, so the hot pot will come later.・Crab vinegar The starter for the crab course is definitely the vinegar dish. It really boosts your appetite. Some people like to eat it while loosening it, but I prefer to loosen it all up and eat it all at once. The gentle sweetness of the vinegar is lovely~♪・Crab miso It's great to eat it as it is, or dip it in various things. The slight bitterness and faint sweetness go well with sake. My partner's mother doesn't like it, so I always end up eating it...(^_^)v・Crab egg tofu Smooth and silky tofu. The faint aroma of the clear broth. There is also crab meat inside.・Crab sashimi Here it is! I've been waiting for this!! The crab sashimi at Yamato is really fresh and delicious. You can tell how fresh it is by how easily the meat separates. First, eat it with soy sauce like normal. The saltiness of the soy sauce enhances the sweetness of the crab meat even more. Of course, the combination with crab miso is also perfect. You can enjoy such a luxurious way of eating because there is plenty of crab miso...(*≧∪≦)◆Draft beer (large) 800 yen (excluding tax) A solid large mug that's been around for a long time. But the crab is so delicious that I gulp it down... (laughs) Shall we move on to the hot pot? Let's start with the easy-to-eat leg meat. It's so fresh that you can eat it with just a quick dip in hot water. Even when heated, it comes off easily.

Crab, blowfish, and pike conger live fish dishes and sushi at Yamato in Yaotsu, Hachioji. It's an old man's usual meal, sometimes with alcohol. It's about a 15-minute walk from either Kintetsu Kyuhouji-guchi Station on the Osaka Line, Kintetsu Yao Station, or JR Kyuhouji Station or Yao Station. Every year, we use it for our family year-end party. In the past, it was a party of about 17 people including my partner's parents and siblings, but since my father-in-law and brother-in-law passed away, we no longer gather, and now it's just the three of us having a year-end party. We usually go once a year, but this time we also visited to celebrate my mother-in-law's 84th birthday. The first floor and second floor were both customer seats in the past, but they were rebuilt into a building with a parking lot on the first floor and a guest room floor on the second floor, and reopened on October 17th two years ago. We were guided to a new private room that still had a fresh smell. We had a large beer, my partner and mother-in-law had oolong tea. Let's eat. The crab hot pot course "Akari" costs 8,800 yen (excluding tax) and includes appetizers, crab hot pot, crab vinegar, crab miso, crab egg tofu, crab sashimi, grilled crab, crab tempura, porridge, and fruit. The appetizer was mountain vegetables and thin-fried tofu or konjac stewed. Yamato's appetizers are always seasoned to go well with alcohol. The hot pot arrives promptly. The hot pot can be eaten with broth as "crab suki" or with ponzu as "crab chiri." We always ask for the broth version. It's for three people, but it seems like the volume is decreasing year by year. Napa cabbage, enoki mushrooms, shungiku, tofu, and kuzukiri. The kuzukiri is wide and delicious. The crab vinegar has a rich and slightly bitter taste with sweetness in the background. It's recommended to dip the cucumber scooped up directly into the crab sashimi that comes later. The crab egg tofu is cold and has a refreshing texture. It contains crab meat and the flavor of the broth is well felt. The crab sashimi looks shiny and fresh. It has a good texture and separation of the meat. It's delicious with soy sauce. The crab tempura is plump and juicy. It's very delicious. We continue to eat the hot pot. We only eat the crab legs as they become tough if left in the pot. The crab legs are easy to eat as they are shaved on the back. The meat is full and juicy. It's very tasty. We finish the meal by making porridge with the remaining crab meat and vegetables. Of course, the red one is essential. The grilled crab has a smaller claw compared to the past, but the meat is still packed and of good quality. We finish by eating the remaining crab meat and vegetables for porridge. And, of course, the red one is essential.

When it comes to crab, it has to be Yamato! When it comes to birthdays, it has to be crab! This winter was my fourth time at Yamato, and once again I took some home! The meat was plentiful and satisfying to eat! The last porridge was also delicious! I found out that you can take home sashimi. It was so sweet♡♡ I want to eat it at least one more time this season!

Crab, blowfish, and conger eel live fish dishes and sushi at Yamato in Yao City. Located about a 15-minute walk from either Kintetsu Kyuhoji-guchi Station or Yao Station, or JR Kansai Main Line Kyuhoji Station or Yao Station, Yamato offers a variety of fresh seafood dishes. This year, my partner, his mother, and I had our annual year-end dinner here. The restaurant has been a longstanding favorite for us for about 30 years. Yamato is a renowned crab restaurant in Yao City, with over 50 years of history. Last year, they renovated and reopened the second floor as a dining area while converting the first floor into a parking lot. The interior is still very new and clean, with a fresh scent. We arrived about 15 minutes early for our 7:15 reservation and waited by the blowfish tank before being seated in the Ume-Ni private room. We ordered the Crab Hot Pot Course "Akari" for ¥8,800, which included various crab dishes like crab sashimi, crab miso, and crab tempura. The meal was accompanied by a large draft beer for ¥800. The dishes were all delicious, with highlights including the crab sashimi and the crab tempura. The new addition to the course, the crab egg tofu, was also a delightful surprise. The restaurant also offers blowfish dishes, known for their quality. Overall, the dining experience at Yamato was exceptional, and we look forward to returning in the future.

As a birthday present, I finally got to go to Yamato, a place I've been wanting to go for a long time. It was my first time since the renovation. We were told that we could only make a reservation for 4:00 PM, so it was a very early dinner. It was a 2-hour time limit. The crab hot pot was amazing, of course! I also ordered crab miso as a side dish. Because of the 2-hour time limit, I quickly devoured the crab. It was a silent meal (lol). I didn't even have time to enjoy my beer slowly. I wish I could have savored it a little more.

Kani, fugu, and hamo live fish dishes and sushi Yamato @ Yaotsu City Near Kintetsu and Osaka Lines Kuhouji-guchi Station or Yaotsu Station, or JR Kansai Main Line Kuhouji Station or Yaotsu Station, all about a 15-minute walk away. Located near the famous Kashiko school Yaotsu High School, this popular local restaurant offers delicious crab dishes. It's our annual tradition, a year-end party with my partner and my partner's mother. We always use this place, which has been in business since my partner lived in Kuhouji as a child, so it's been over 25 years since we got married. We used to have a big family of 17 people with my brother-in-law's family, but... my partner's father, brother, and nephews and nieces have passed away, and it's just the three of us now. The last visit article is here ⇒ Crab, fugu, and hamo live fish dishes and sushi Yamato @ Yaotsu City Kuhouji The crab season ended in March, and the entire store was completely rebuilt and reopened on October 17th. The first and second floors were previously customer seating, but now the first floor is a parking lot, and only the second floor is a customer room floor. We had made a reservation, so we were guided to a newly renovated private room with sliding doors. The menu has also been updated, with the previous tax-excluded 8,000 yen "Tou Course" now including crab egg tofu for a total of 8,800 yen excluding tax... (^_^;) ◆Crab Hot Pot Course "Tou" 8,800 yen (excluding tax) ・Appetizer ・Crab hot pot ・Crab vinegar ・Crab miso ・Crab egg tofu ・Crab sashimi ・Grilled crab ・Crab tempura ・Zosui (rice porridge) ・Fruit ◆Draft Beer (Large) 800 yen (excluding tax) This large pitcher here is quite a good deal. The appetizer is shrimp beans. Let's eat. First, the crab vinegar♪ It's a refined vinegar that doesn't sting the nose. The crab easily separates from the shell, and you can feel the sweetness of the crab in the sweet and sour sauce. Next is the crab miso and crab egg tofu. The crab miso is good to lick as it is, or to eat with the sashimi or hot pot crab that comes later♪ The rich sweetness and slight bitterness are good♪ The crab egg tofu, newly added to the course this time. With its smooth texture and faint crab flavor, it goes well with the crab miso and makes you want to drink sake♪ As always, the crab sashimi easily comes off the shell, showing its freshness. It has a glossy appearance and the sweetness when you put it in your mouth... Even my partner's mother, who doesn't like raw food, enjoys this crab sashimi because it's really delicious~ (´ﾟ∀ﾟ｀)ｷﾀｺﾚ The aroma of the shell being grilled, just that alone makes the grilled crab delicious...(*ﾟ∀ﾟ)=3ﾊｧﾊｧ Even though it's already sweet raw, grilling it increases the sweetness even more, and the moisture is reduced, concentrating the umami flavor♪ I know a few people who like crab but dislike grilled crab... I don't understand at all... (laughs) ◆Crab Battera 1,200 yen (excluding tax) Every time, we always order this crab battera in addition to the course. The thick leg meat lined up with the gentle vinegared rice goes well together, and for some reason, you want to eat it~(*ﾟ∀ﾟ*)ｲｲ!! However, because the rice is tightly packed, it's quite filling just by itself... (laughs) A tempura made by deep-frying a whole thick leg. When eaten with salt, you can taste the crispy texture of the batter and the sweetness of the crab. The main crab hot pot is brought out early, but with the crab vinegar at the beginning and the dishes coming one after another, it takes a while to eat...ｧﾊﾊ・・(・∀-｀；) The hot pot comes with "Crab Chiri" to eat with ponzu sauce and "Crab Su" to eat with broth.

I always wanted to try this shop near my house! The hot pot in a cool environment was so luxurious and delicious.

The crab gratin was delicious. I was surprised to find a restaurant like this nearby. Sashimi might be better at a sushi restaurant... but if you're craving crab, I recommend it. The atmosphere was also good.

I have been going to this restaurant for about 30 years, but I hadn't been since last year due to the COVID-19 self-restraint. I went back after a long time and was disappointed. The building had been renovated, so I expected it to still be thriving, but the crab tasted different. It was really disappointing. The meat was sparse. The sashimi was not crab, just regular fish. The grilled crab was overcooked, the meat was small, and I was hoping for the taste from the past, so it was really disappointing. The porridge at the end of the hot pot had no crab flavor at all. It was like plain hot water porridge. In the past, the crab broth would simmer down to a yellowish broth where you would add rice, and it was really delicious. But today's was completely different. Also, during the porridge, I was served with a dirty ladle that had not been replaced. The service had also deteriorated in various ways. I was disappointed in everything. I will never go back again. If they continue like this, I think customers will start to stay away.

I went on a special day. It was quiet in the completely private room, and I enjoyed the delicious food with peace of mind. The sashimi was outstanding. I would like to go again on another important day.

I haven't been to "Yamato" in my hometown for about 10 years now. I first went there about 25 years ago, so I guess the store has been renovated. When it comes to long-established udon in Yao, it's Kagado. When it comes to blowfish and crab, it's "Yamato." There used to be a lot of private rooms, and I used to go there like a normal izakaya (surprisingly reasonable, I think). Some say it was delicious in the past, but has the taste declined? In recent years, whenever I return to my hometown, I only go to Manje, I guess.

Kaninoyamato was like a beautiful presence. I grew up hearing that stepping into such a high-class restaurant would make you melt instantly, so I stubbornly believed it. I even told my partner to pick up my bones if I melted as soon as I entered. Thankfully, I didn't melt (laughs). The appetizers were important. You can tell a lot about a restaurant from them. I ordered the kanichiri course and even got a filling porridge. I also ordered grilled crab and crab sashimi (a bit crunchy) separately. I thoroughly enjoyed the crab. It's fun to struggle with it. The conversation didn't flow, but that's normal for us. It's a bit sad. The price was surprisingly cheap. If you can eat crab like this, it's worth it. I also ordered crab battera and futomaki as souvenirs, drank a lot, and it came out to about 20,000 yen. If you're eating freshly caught crab at a fisherman's inn, it's a different story, but otherwise, this is good.
