This was my first time using this restaurant for a formal event. The parking lot was very spacious, and the interior exuded a sense of luxury and cleanliness, creating a unique atmosphere. Upon entering, there was a flowing water feature at the entrance and a tank filled with crabs in the back. The tables were spacious and the corridors and tables were sparkling clean. I had the pleasure of enjoying the "Yosaki Kaiseki" course, which featured a variety of crab dishes. I was amazed by the different flavors, textures, and presentations of the crab dishes, showcasing the skillful preparation and seasoning. The crab rice dish was quite filling, equivalent to about 2.0-2.5 bowls of rice. The meal ended with a refreshing green tea ice cream dessert, where the staff prepared matcha tea for us. The combination of sweet vanilla ice cream and bitter matcha tea was a delightful experience. I ordered a soft drink separately, but the portion was quite small for the price. The staff, dressed in kimonos for women and suits for men, provided excellent service, living up to the high-class reputation of the restaurant.

I had a casual course meal for around 5000 yen. The portion was small, but the final rice dish left me feeling satisfied. The private room was nice, and when I asked for the dishes to be served quickly, they really did so, for which I am grateful.

I didn't do anything particularly Golden Week-like, but I went to a spring crab festival. It's a thank-you party after the busy season. It's great that you can still eat crab even when it's not in season. Thank you for the meal. #CrabLover #Crab #SpringCrabFestival #Kanshu #GWEvent

I ordered a kaiseki meal and individual dishes separately for my family during a homecoming trip. Although it was mentioned that only reservations were accepted today, the restaurant seemed quite busy and the food and drinks took a while to arrive. It seemed like there was a shortage of staff everywhere. Nevertheless, the food was consistently delicious. When it comes to crab in Osaka, Kani Doraku is the place to go.

I went to a crab specialty store. I ordered the summer limited course menu called "Natsune." It included fresh crab, crab soup, crab rice, and various other dishes, all of which were delicious. The service and atmosphere of the restaurant were also very good, so I would like to go again. Thank you for the meal!

I visited "Kani Doraku" along the Ibuki Kameoka Line (Prefectural Road 46) in Ibaraki City. This restaurant is famous for its moving crab sign. I had a crab course meal that was filled with various crab dishes.

We had a small celebration, so we went out for a luxurious crab meal. We had a half boiled crab, a platter of two types of crab sashimi, crab hot pot, crab miso shell grilled, grilled crab, crab roll, soup, and dessert. We enjoyed a special deluxe course featuring a large crab hot pot with seasonal delights for 10,000 yen (tax included). The crab was big, juicy, and delicious when cooked - fluffy and tasty. We were satisfied with the amount of food, and the staff were friendly. The atmosphere of the restaurant was calm and pleasant. Thank you for the meal!

My family celebrated at Kanidouraku this time too, but it was our first time at the Ibaraki branch where all the rooms were private. They even prepared a small makeshift bed for the baby, which we were grateful for. The food was delicious as always. The menu included: A variety of crab dishes, crab sashimi, crab steamed egg custard, crab hot pot, crab tempura, crab sushi platter, and crab miso dressing salad. It was all very luxurious and filling. The matcha-topped vanilla ice cream at the end was a nice touch, although a smaller portion would have sufficed.

I visited Kani Doraku for lunch during a business trip in February 2023. It was my first time at this restaurant. The interior had a luxurious feel with a waterway running through it. I ordered the 4,400 yen lunch set which included crab sashimi, crab steamed rice, and more. There was a variety of crab dishes like crab hot pot, crab gratin, crab tempura, and crab sushi. It was a crab feast! The taste was quite good and I felt that the lunch set was a good value for the price. I would like to visit again if I have the chance, even if it's on someone else's dime.

The 10,000 yen course was delicious. The zosui I ordered additionally was also tasty. The crab sake I had was good too.

We had a company celebration for achieving our goal and decided to try out a crab specialty restaurant for the first time, as requested by the women in the group. The restaurant welcomed us warmly and led us to our reserved room. The atmosphere was lively and the room was almost full. We had a crab kaiseki course which included a variety of crab dishes. One of the highlights was the "Hoji Hoji," a tool specially designed for picking out crab meat, which was even trademarked. We were amazed by the different ways crab can be enjoyed and had a wonderful time in the nice ambiance of the restaurant. It was a delightful experience to enjoy the thick and juicy crab meat that you don't usually get at home. We now understand why this restaurant is so popular for crab dishes. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I visited the restaurant at night this time. The deliciousness was consistent as always. The course allowed us to enjoy crab prepared in various ways such as boiled, raw, grilled, and fried. The crab rice dish served at the end, where you mix the crab meat in later, was truly delicious. Eating it like ochazuke with dashi was also amazing. The attentive service and the perfect timing of serving dishes were also great. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

At the end of summer vacation, I decided to treat myself and went to Kanidouraku Izumi Ibaraki. A staff member in a kimono greeted me at the entrance, and even though I didn't have a reservation, I was quickly seated. I ordered the Tōka course for ¥5,940, which included various crab dishes. The young staff members were polite and it was clear that they were well-trained. The timing of each dish was perfect, and before dessert, they even brought warm tea and a hot towel. They also provided lemon slices to remove any crab smell from our hands, showing great attention to detail. Although it's not a place I can visit often due to the price, I would definitely consider going back for a special occasion.

The Kani Doraku here is located in a strange place in Ibaraki for some reason! (laughs) When I first saw it, I wondered why? But I'm happy that the taste is the same. I often use Ibaraki for work because the parking lot is huge and convenient. After all, Namba doesn't have a parking lot. Thank you for always treating us to the best crab! Located 1,722m from Shiomibashi Station. Open from 11:30 to 22:00. Lunch is available. Closed on no specific days.

The other day, I visited the restaurant to celebrate my mother's 60th birthday and my niece's birthday. There were 12 of us, so we had two options for the course - a crab kaiseki and a crab hot pot. We were allowed to bring in two cakes, which they served at the timing we requested. They also kindly took a group photo for us and provided about 10 sets with photo stands. The staff treated us very well, so we were completely satisfied with everything! On our way out, they even gave presents to the children. We will definitely use this restaurant again!

[Revisited] I have visited countless times before, but this time, fortunately, a new family member is joining us, so I shouted at the annoying ones like Yumeikida and Mitaya to shut up and made a reservation for lunch. Despite being a guest, I ordered a single serving of the famous miso soup and grilled snow crab, and injected a second "shut up!" to about five people, enjoying a leisurely drink time alone. The crab didn't have an outstanding taste that you could indulge in, but it was all about the atmosphere. The waitresses in kimonos served each dish carefully to each person and prepared the final rice dish with impeccable timing. It's not a high-end cuisine, but it's a lovely place where you can experience a sense of luxury. Today, for us who came all the way from a distant place, my mother's relatives in Osaka said they would treat us to spiny lobster or crab. Osaka is famous for JR A, and "Kanidouraku" is a well-known song by Mozart from Naniwa, Kidataro. In Osaka, Kanidouraku is a reputable restaurant used by every family for celebrations. Therefore, during New Year's, Golden Week, or even Obon, it is often necessary to make a reservation even at large establishments. There was also the option of Chunanomi at Nakanoin, but in the end, we chose the famous Kanidouraku in Osaka. This establishment boasts a considerable area, and the moving crabs at the storefront are also a popular attraction for children. Children say things like "If I could eat that many crabs, I wouldn't mind dying" and "If I eat that, my mom will be mad," as they look at the statue (laughs). Inside the restaurant, there is a waterfall, and the crabs in the fish tank are eagerly waiting to be eaten! My relatives said, "Honsei-san, it's almost New Year's, so eat a lot," and I was overwhelmed with gratitude. Taking advantage of their words, I ordered 6 pieces of fresh snow crab sushi and the highest-priced course, as well as a grilled dish... I'm the worst daughter-in-law (laughs). Sashimi, lightly boiled, tempura, shumai, gratin, crab rice, ochazuke, crab sushi, grilled crab cooked on a shichirin... and after the meal, we had ice cream with matcha poured over it. Thanks to that, my stomach was full, so I packed up the leftovers as souvenirs and fed them to my mother, who was staying at home in Osaka. My mother in Osaka ate the takeaway meal and said, "It's so delicious! It's really delicious. Even though I didn't make it myself, I'm happy to hear that it's delicious. It also started snowing in Osaka. It's cold, and even the turtles are quiet... or so I would like to say, but today, the turtle is looking at me sideways, with a mischievous look in its eyes, and now it's attempting to escape! I'm currently facing the challenge of the turtle's escape attempt, leaving footprints in the snow. Spare me~

We used this restaurant for a family lunch. It was our second visit to this place. The atmosphere exudes luxury from the entrance, especially since we were having crab. We took off our shoes and were escorted to our table by a staff member. We were seated in a private room for six people. We ordered the lunch course which included sashimi, chawanmushi, gratin, tempura, and kamameshi, along with a side of crab croquette. The sashimi was sweet and melted in our mouths. The chawanmushi and gratin were average, with just a hint of crab. The tempura only had one piece of crab, which was a bit disappointing. The kamameshi was freshly cooked with a crispy bottom. We enjoyed it as is for the first serving and then poured broth over it for a tea-flavored finish. The crab croquette had a rich and delicious crab flavor, different from your typical crab cream croquette. Everything was delicious. The service was impeccable, from start to finish. The staff were well-trained and made our dining experience pleasant. Thank you for the wonderful meal.
