A crab buffet restaurant in Kawaramachi, Kyoto is currently hugely popular! The all-you-can-eat course includes super fresh Matsuba crab and Taraba crab for 13,980 yen! The massive Taraba crab that comes out is incredibly satisfying to eat! The Matsuba crab is sweet and definitely raises the satisfaction level for an all-you-can-eat offering. You can also get a separate grilling option for the Matsuba crab, and grilling really enhances its sweetness—highly recommended! In addition to crab, the price also includes sushi, fried goods, and all-you-can-drink options, ensuring you can leave feeling completely satisfied! There are various courses available, including an all-you-can-eat option for Akazuwai crab at 4,980 yen and shabu-shabu courses, so it’s great that you can choose according to your budget!

I went on a little trip to Kyoto with a friend. After visiting various shrines and attractions, we became hungry, so I searched for a restaurant that opened early and found "Kani Gin," which offers an all-you-can-eat crab special starting at 4 PM in Gion. - The inside of the restaurant has only table seating, with dividers making it semi-private, so you can eat crab comfortably without worrying about being seen by others. - We ordered the "All-You-Can-Eat Red Snow Crab" course, which includes 72 items for 7,700 yen, but we got it for 4,980 yen. - First, we were served four half-bodies of red snow crab. We used scissors and gloves provided on the table to peel and eat it ourselves. - The all-you-can-eat time was 100 minutes, but orders stopped after 70 minutes. My friend and I peeled the crab and piled it on a plate, eating in a rush three times. - The crab meat was sweet, and the crab vinegar had a great flavor, making it very delicious. - In between, we also ordered crab cream croquettes and crab shumai. We were able to fill up just on crab, which felt very worthwhile. - Thank you for the meal! - 【Address】291 Naraya-cho, Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture 【Station】About 6 minutes from Exit 3 of Hankyu Kyoto Main Line Kyoto Kawaramachi Station 【Parking】Coin parking nearby available.

I can't believe there's an all-you-can-eat crab restaurant in Gion, Kyoto! I visited during a day trip to Kyoto. It opens at 4 PM, so I waited nearby while having tea. I was the first to enter! The restaurant has all table seating, separated by curtains, creating a semi-private atmosphere where I could peel and enjoy as much crab as I wanted! This time, I ordered the all-you-can-eat red snow crab course with 72 items, priced at 4,980 yen instead of the 7,700 yen course. First, they served me four half crabs. I peeled the crab myself using the scissors and gloves provided on the table. The all-you-can-eat duration was 100 minutes, with a last order cutoff at 70 minutes, so my friend and I peeled the crabs, plated them, and enjoyed them all at once three times. The crab meat was sweet, and the crab vinegar enhanced the flavor of the broth, making it very delicious. We also ordered crab cream croquettes and crab shumai during the meal. We were able to fill up just on the crab, and it felt like a great deal. Thank you for the meal!

Don't underestimate it just because it seems like nothing special! The size of the king crab legs is incredible! It’s truly a level to scream about. The meat is packed in tightly. You might even doubt whether it’s real crab or imitation crab because of how big they are. Just two or three legs can fill you up? I couldn’t believe it myself on that night.

I was curious about the all-you-can-eat crab, so I decided to go. The snow crab was delicious as expected. The staff were friendly, creating a great atmosphere. There was also sushi available as part of the all-you-can-eat experience, and it was tasty too. The restaurant is located on the fifth floor of a building, and the view by the window was great.

I wanted to eat crab, so I went with my wife. Before we went, I looked at the Tabelog reviews, and I found it odd that the high-rated reviews had photos of the restaurant interior with no customers or staff in them. We discussed this and felt that the reviews might not be very helpful, so we decided to go anyway. We went without a reservation, but the staff mentioned we were walk-in guests, so I think it's better to make a reservation. I won't comment on the service. We chose the all-you-can-eat snow crab course, which was priced at approximately 6,000 yen including tax, plus a one-drink minimum. We both thought it was strange to have a drink requirement for an all-you-can-eat option. Soon, the crab arrived! To be honest, the legs had a strong flavor (a bit salty), but the texture had that typical frozen drip, making the meat lose its moisture and it wasn't tasty. I know you can't expect too much from an all-you-can-eat, but still. The meat in the body section, which is near the legs, was frankly not good and inedible for me. I didn't like the flavor, and my wife felt the same way. (Although we managed to eat 12 half-shells total, there was one that tasted fine and was normal.) The crab cream croquettes had no crab flavor whatsoever, but as a cream croquette, they were delicious. My wife ordered a tuna tataki don, but she could only eat one bite, so I ended up finishing it. I wouldn’t recommend the side dishes much. As for the sushi, we were curious after seeing some high-rated posts with many orders of the same type of sushi, so we decided to order some, but… Overall, I wouldn't return, but if you're just looking to experience all-you-can-eat crab, it might be worth a visit. Personally, I think the all-you-can-eat red snow crab at the buffet in Daimaru Umeda is 100% better. I hope this review helps someone. Now, as a palate cleanser, my wife and I are off to Starbucks!

The crab shells had no cuts in them. It took a long time to break them open, and I used up half of the all-you-can-eat time. The salad and crab cream croquettes were delicious. Other dishes were below average. For the price, there was no sense of value! I probably won't go again!

I went for the first time. The crab was out of season and quite pricey, so I didn’t have high expectations. However, the service at the restaurant was terrible. There was a foreign staff member who was trying their best to help, even though they didn’t understand everything, but the Japanese staff member—who may have been an employee—was the worst. They didn’t respond when I called them, and when I asked questions, they ignored me and seemed to forget immediately. I don’t know if they get many customers because of their location, catering to tourists, but I will never return. This is just my personal opinion, so if you want to eat cheap crab, feel free to go.

"Crab Galaxy" is popular for its unlimited crab offerings. Since I was on a trip to Kyoto, I decided to treat myself a bit during lunch! The content of this course was surprisingly luxurious. With sukiyaki, pork shabu-shabu, sushi, and a variety of seafood and special dishes, I honestly felt like I was going to overeat. Given the quality and content, this is honestly a great deal.

I chose the all-you-can-eat snow crab course and added an all-you-can-drink option that included beer and highballs. I spent the whole time just peeling, eating, and drinking, haha! There were other all-you-can-eat items like sushi, fried foods, and salads, but I focused solely on the crab. I enjoyed about 3 to 4 servings on my own. Later, I found out that I could rent a grill, and although I ate the crab cold this time, I definitely think it would taste much better if it were grilled! I'll be back whenever I crave crab again!

Although all-you-can-eat is great, the service from the staff was incredibly disappointing. They responded carelessly to everything, which was shocking. Even at the end, when it came time for card payment, they acted as if they didn't know how to handle it. There was a serious lack of communication and service management in the restaurant. When I entered, I called out but nobody was around, and I had to go inside to get help. I tried to check the menu on LINE, but due to poor reception, I couldn’t view it and only managed to order a refill once before heading home.

I was completely satisfied to be filled with crab! The all-you-can-eat menu had a wide variety beyond just crab, and I was surprised at how delicious the sushi and fried items were as well. I would love to go again for someone's birthday or a celebration. The cost-performance was pretty good too!

Located in Kyoto's Kawaramachi, this popular all-you-can-eat crab restaurant serves up an incredible feast! The size of the crabs that arrive at the table is astonishing, with giant Taranaba crabs and delectable Sushi made from flavorful Zuwai crabs. It's a dream come true for crab lovers! On this particular day, I opted for the course featuring all-you-can-eat Honsawai and Taranaba crabs priced at 13,980 yen. The portion sizes were impressive, and I was surprised to see beautiful crabs instead of broken leg crabs! You can also order a separate grill to make grilled Honsawai crab, which added to the experience. The price for the Taranaba crab course was a bit on the higher side, but it was definitely worth it, and I've made some wonderful memories there. You can enjoy all-you-can-eat Akasuwai crab starting at just 4,980 yen, making it quite affordable! As a crab enthusiast, I felt like I was in heaven! Thank you for the delicious meal!

Hello! This is Keinsuke! Today, I would like to introduce "Kanigin," located in Kyoto's Kawaramachi area. This restaurant is popular for its "all-you-can-eat crab," which has been trending on social media. This time, we visited with a group of six. The restaurant is located on the fifth floor of a building along the main road, easily recognizable as you walk from Shijo towards Sanjo. There's no prominent sign at the entrance, just a simple paper saying "Kanigin"! Curious about what kind of place it is, we entered to find a fairly spacious large dining area with many seats. Since it's an all-you-can-eat crab restaurant, the interior has a Japanese-style ambiance with suitable background music. Each table is equipped with bowls, plastic gloves, and crab serving sets. **FOOD** ◎ All-You-Can-Eat King Crab & Snow Crab There are various all-you-can-eat options available, including a course with only snow crab. However, we chose the highest-priced option, which includes king crab. Notably, the all-you-can-eat menu includes not just crab but also a selection of side dishes, sushi, fried items, and rice dishes — so there's plenty to eat in case you get tired of crab (laughs). Initially, we received a massive serving of king crab and snow crab for six people that far exceeded our expectations! The king crab was gigantic, almost spilling off the table — if I encountered such a creature outside, I would probably be frightened! The king crab was incredibly thick and filling; even with the all-you-can-eat option, you'd quickly feel full! The flavor is quite rich and salty, so drinking water is a must! The snow crab, on the other hand, had a lighter taste and offered a classic crab flavor. Personally, I found I could eat more of the snow crab and preferred its taste! As for service, there were minor issues like the crab gratin we ordered at the beginning arriving after the last call, so I felt a bit of improvement could be made in that area. **Summary** I felt like I had eaten enough crab for more than a year, and I think I might not want crab for a while (laughs). For crab lovers, this place is a must-visit, so if you’re interested, definitely check it out! Thank you for the meal! **Points** Customer Demographics: □ Male solo ■ Male groups □ Female solo ■ Female groups ■ Students □ Families with children ■ Elderly □ Couples ■ Office workers & OLs Age Range: ■ 10-20s ■ 30-50s ■ 60 and above Others: □ Private rooms □ View □ Power outlets □ WiFi □ Queuing □ Reservations recommended □ Close to the station □ Instagram-worthy □ Quiet □ Long stays allowed □ Fun □ Hidden gem *Please note that the information is based on our visit.*

Just an 8-minute walk from Sanjo Station on the Keihan Line in Kyoto, there's an all-you-can-eat place that's trending right now! Indulging in all-you-can-eat crab is simply bliss! There are three plans available, and this time I chose the course featuring snow crab and king crab! First, a massive king crab arrives—it's just mind-blowing! I've never seen such a big crab before! When I break off a leg, the meat that comes out is incredibly thick! It's too luxurious, and it's so juicy and delicious!!! While there are other all-you-can-eat options like sushi, fried foods, and special dishes, the satisfaction I get from the crab is on another level! If you love crab, you absolutely must check this place out!

I visited a popular all-you-can-eat restaurant featuring "Zuwaigani (snow crab), Tarabagani (king crab), and sushi"! The courses available were: ■ Red Zuwaigani and Dokezuwaigani (5,478 yen) ■ Honzuwaigani (true snow crab) and Dokezuwaigani (6,028 yen) ■ Tarabagani and Red Zuwaigani (15,378 yen). It includes unlimited sushi, rice dishes, side dishes, fried items, and other dishes! There is a time limit of 100 minutes, with last orders taken at 70 minutes. I originally requested the Tarabagani and Red Zuwaigani course, but due to an accident, the Tarabagani hadn't arrived yet (*_*). So I had to quickly switch to the Red Zuwaigani and Dokezuwaigani course (T_T). First, a huge amount of crab was served! I dove in without saying a word, utterly focused on eating (lol). The initial serving of crab was quite substantial, so I decided to order dishes other than crab. The quality of the sushi was impressive! For an all-you-can-eat establishment, the sushi was remarkably high quality, so I ended up ordering quite a lot, akin to a conveyor belt sushi restaurant (lol). The red miso soup was as delicious as you'd find at a sushi shop (*_*). It's appealing that the non-crab buffet items were also tasty. Next time, I will definitely aim to go back for the Tarabagani revenge!

【Kani Gin】Unbelievably, they have all-you-can-eat crab! This is a first for me! Prices start at ¥4,980. ◎ Red Snow Crab & Spiky Crab Course ¥4,980 ◎ Snow Crab & Spiky Crab Course ¥5,480 ◎ King Crab & Red Snow Crab Course ¥13,980 I ordered the course that includes "King Crab." When it arrived, I was shocked!!! I've never seen such a large crab before❤️‍❤️‍ When I cracked open the shell, the meat was packed tightly! It had a plump, chewy texture that was incredibly satisfying! The Snow Crab had soft meat with an exceptionally rich sweetness and umami✨ I had never done a crab comparison before, but each one had a unique texture and flavor, and it was absolutely delicious! The crab cream croquettes and crab rice were also included in the all-you-can-eat selections, so I ordered those too! There were also sushi and fried chicken options in the all-you-can-eat menu. The crab was so delicious that I kept going back for more! I've never felt so full from crab before; it was an indulgent experience! I highly recommend it! #KyotoGourmet #KyotoLunch #KyotoIzakaya #KawaramachiGourmet #KawaramachiLunch #KawaramachiIzakaya #Crab #AllYouCanEatCrab

The crab was quite well-filled. The thawing was done perfectly, and the crab meat was extremely delicious. I lost count of how many shoulders of snow crab I devoured. The crab vinegar was surprisingly good too. The other dishes were also quite nice. However, the time felt a bit short; two hours flew by in no time.

I heard I could eat huge crabs, so I took the elevator to the 5th floor. When I arrived, I was unsure if the restaurant was even open because there were no decorations or anything! I opened the door cautiously, and it turned out they were open. The interior was quite bare, just some seats. I thought, "I see, they're spending money on the ingredients instead of the appearance!" This made me feel like it could actually be promising. Once seated, traditional Japanese kOTO music played in the background, creating a certain atmosphere. I ordered the all-you-can-eat king crab and snow crab course, which offers a total of 72 items for 15,378 yen (including tax) with a time limit of 100 minutes (last order at 70 minutes). The difference in the courses seems to be the quality of the crab, while the side menu is likely the same. Since it was a special occasion, I decided to splurge on the best option. I wanted to eat those thick legs! It's worth noting that the time limit starts from the moment you enter, so you should be prepared. You have 100 minutes until you leave. They also insisted on ordering at least one drink, so I chose oolong tea to stay focused on the crab. I was told the crab could be grilled, so I requested a hot plate, but it turned out that was an extra charge. The first dish served was a large platter of king crab and snow crab. I had to eat this before ordering anything else, so I hurried to dig in! The impact was huge! The king crab was massive! This was exactly what I came for! As for the flavor, it was delicious, but quite salty! Water was definitely necessary! A grilling plate for flavor variation was essential. The side dishes were tasty but not extraordinary. I wouldn't say they were worth the 15,000 yen I paid. We only ordered one leg of the king crab ourselves, haha. We had researched well, so I thought we utilized our time effectively, but the ice cream we had for dessert was really good!
