It's been a while since I've had this course✨ It has a sophisticated taste and feels high-class, so it can be nerve-wracking! 😄 In addition to the course mentioned in the title, I added cucumber and seaweed crab gratin and crab spring rolls. The additional menu items are like izakaya dishes that even children can enjoy‼️ *Cards are accepted, but please note that JCB cards cannot be used.

During my 10 years living in Obihiro, it was my first visit to this restaurant! I enjoyed a 10,000 yen course meal, which included salad, shabu-shabu, sashimi, tempura, grilled dishes, and crab fried rice. It was a feast of crab dishes! The quality of the crab was excellent, and it felt like I had eaten a lifetime's worth of crab. Highly recommended for crab lovers!

In the bustling district of Obihiro, I came across a shop with a strong sense of self-promotion (laughs). At first, I thought it was a crab shop in Obihiro, but it's not good to have strange preconceptions. I had a wonderful crab course. The price was reasonable, but several types of crab were served - shabu-shabu, boiled, sashimi, grilled, and a finishing crab rice porridge. Perfect. The size was small, but the meat was packed tightly, with an elegant sweetness and plenty of crab miso. I am grateful for the discerning eye of the shop. It was delicious. I would definitely like to visit again. When I stepped outside, I saw the new famous Ban'ei horse sightseeing carriage in Obihiro. Thank you for the meal.

I got caught up in the excitement of being in Hokkaido and wanting to eat crab, but when I think about it, it's not really crab season right now, haha. Looking at the photos of the crabs at this restaurant, they look big and delicious, but those are probably from winter. In this season in early autumn, the crabs are all small and not very satisfying to eat, haha. Well, it was a good lesson learned! Ossu ossu!

2015.12 Update: It was difficult to get crabs this year! They were on the smaller side. 2015.1 Update: Prices went up, but the crabs were a bit smaller. However, they only sold ones with good meat quality. I also bought hair crabs. Crabs are a must-have item for our New Year's Eve. 2014.1 Update: This year, there was an extreme shortage of crabs. It cost 7,000 yen per kilo, so it was 20,000 yen in total. The meat quality was good. 2013.1 Update: The year ended with crabs again. There were mostly large ones this year, even though they were considered "medium-sized." There was plenty to eat. 2011.12 Update: The crabs were a bit small this year, but the meat quality was good for snow crabs. I also enjoyed hair crabs. 2010.12 Update: I reserved and bought crabs this year. It cost 17,000 yen, and there seems to be a slight price increase. The crabs had good meat quality, delicious! 2009.12: I always bought crabs from a certain store, but last year's crabs were terrible. The meat was empty, even though it was a 17,000 yen snow crab. So, this year, I switched to "Kani Taisho," a direct sales store I found in a local magazine. They had a lot of reserved crabs stacked up on New Year's Eve. When I asked if the meat quality was good, they assured me that they only sell crabs with good meat. When I tried peeling the crabs at home, they were amazing! The snow crabs were full of meat and tasted great. I plan to reserve crabs again next year and maybe even dine at the restaurant where they offer crab courses for around 4,000 yen.

On this day, I made a reservation at Kanidaisho because a client from a business partner was coming! I had been curious about this restaurant for a while, but the minimum number for the all-you-can-drink option was 6 people, which was a bit high for a small group from work. So, I invited colleagues, clients, and people from another company to join, and we managed to have 6 people to go in! The 3800 yen course menu for this season included: Taraba crab, Kegani crab, assorted sashimi, grilled crab, crab mayonnaise, crab fried rice, crab miso soup, and a small side dish. The 4800 yen course includes uni sashimi in addition to the crab. The all-you-can-drink option was 1200 yen for 90 minutes or 1600 yen for 120 minutes. Since we planned to go to a few more places after this, we opted for the 90-minute option. The assorted crab plate had quite large Taraba crabs, which was nice. We shared the crab miso and enjoyed the grilled crab, flipping it to cook the meat and squeezing lemon on top. The crab mayonnaise was as expected, a bit on the rich side but perfect with drinks. The crab fried rice had a generous amount of crab broth, making it delicious. Although there was quite a lot of food, everyone (6 people) enjoyed it and even had seconds (a single person took home the leftovers). The crab miso soup and vinegar dish were okay. I have had the opportunity to eat "Hanasaki crabs" as a child and recently have been eating fresh, not frozen, Kegani crabs, so my experience with crabs is quite high. Therefore, I wasn't necessarily blown away by the crab itself, but I think it would be satisfying enough for someone who doesn't have many opportunities to eat crab. In Obihiro, there are affordable small dishes with one highball per person, while Kanidaisho seems more suitable for entertaining clients. The restaurant was full that day, so it was quite lively and noisy. The drink options for the all-you-can-drink were limited to no wine and only Hokkaido sake. Overall, we enjoyed a crab-centric menu at Kanidaisho!

Moved by the deliciousness ☆ Live crab "Hairy Crab" I am in charge of "employee training" in Hokkaido, Obihiro, and I go there regularly. Hokkaido is a treasure trove of delicious food. I have always loved this place as a foodie. My father was a big food lover, so we used to go to Hokkaido often. Every time we went, we bought a lot of delicious food and brought it back to Nagoya. Back then, when courier services were not as common as they are now, we had to bring them back ourselves. One of the souvenirs my father always brought back was "Hairy Crab." It is still my favorite crab. My father had a stroke when I was in my early twenties. Since then, I have had the opportunity to go to Hokkaido for work and take my mother on a trip to Hokkaido. Thanks to work and the Moriwajuku, I have made many acquaintances in Hokkaido. I enjoy eating the delicious food of Hokkaido that my father taught me about when I was young. I am a foodie, so I am grateful to have the opportunity to be treated to delicious food in various places. "Crab" is one of my favorite foods, so I have been able to eat a variety of them. But in Hokkaido, I think "Hairy Crab" is by far the most delicious! There are various types of crabs such as king crab and snow crab, but I like "Hairy Crab" the best. When I told this to the president of Yagetsu, a famous confectionery shop in Obihiro, he took me to a specialty crab restaurant in Obihiro called "Kani Taisho." (This is a photo from April this year, but I'm dressed for winter because it's cold in Obihiro) The appearance of the restaurant is not luxurious, but the owner's commitment to crab is amazing! I realized how valuable it is to "boil live crabs in the restaurant." On that day, I was treated to my favorite "Hairy Crab" and various crab assortments such as king crab. They were all full of meat and incredibly juicy. The crab flavor was rich, and everything was really delicious! Of course, we also had sake (cold sake) together, and it goes well with crab! The crab was so delicious and the sake was so good that it was impressive. When I eat crab, I always dip it in my favorite "vinegar." However, this restaurant does not have a dipping sauce. The reason for this is written on the website: "We do not provide dipping sauce because we use high-quality live crabs. If you put sauce on good crab, you won't be able to taste the true flavor of the crab." I deeply understood this commitment as well. Hokkaido has a lot of delicious food not only crabs but also at any time of the year. Corn, melon, potatoes, pumpkins, saury, salmon... the list goes on and on. Every time I go there for work, I have very little free time, but just being in my beloved Hokkaido and breathing in the fresh air makes me happy. Hokkaido, the big land = a truly rich land. Grateful for the connection ☆

The other day, I used this place for entertaining guests. I had high expectations because their website effectively showcased their dedication to quality. I brought some clients from Honshu and they all seemed very satisfied. Personally, I felt that the taste of the crab was lacking a bit, but everyone else enjoyed it. Especially the crab fried rice at the end was visually appealing, had a good portion size, and everyone seemed to really enjoy it. I think it's a place that would impress clients for entertaining purposes.

I have used this restaurant about three times for workplace parties. When we use this place, we plan events like New Year's parties or year-end parties, and sometimes we get excited about having crab. There are tanks in the restaurant with live crabs, which is entertaining to watch and gets us in a good mood. The restaurant has long, narrow tatami rooms with tables lined up vertically with partitions made of screens for each group. Dishes of hairy crabs, snow crabs, and king crabs are served in various ways such as boiled, grilled, and raw (sashimi). While eating, everyone is busy cracking crabs and quiet. Hands get dirty, there's a smell, and sometimes you feel like you haven't eaten enough, but I think it's nice to have this kind of party once in a while. The fact that the restaurant is always busy shows that despite the hassle, people really do love crabs.

I wondered why there would be crab in Obihiro, a city without a sea, but I was persuaded by a friend from the mainland to go with a group of four. Inside the restaurant, there was a tank with live crabs, which was entertaining to see. My friend's child was also delighted. The interior had small raised seating areas separated by bamboo blinds, which gave it a somewhat unsettling feeling. Since it was not a private room, it felt even more so! Well, I guess they are targeting tourists and group parties. We chose the 3,500 yen crab hot pot course. Normally, it seems to be for four or more people, but even though one of us was a child, they still made a full portion for three people. The phone reservation service was very friendly and accommodating to our requests. By the time we had the rice porridge at the end, we were all full and satisfied, including my friend and her child. Next time, I would like to use this restaurant for a company party!

We used it for a farewell party. With about 30 people, it was a bit cramped, but the platter of taraba, snow crab, and king crab had plenty of satisfying food. The sashimi, including sea urchin and raw hairy crab (not boiled), was fresh and delicious. Finally, we had porridge with crab hotpot broth. It was amazing. The banquet course was reasonable, but it might be a bit more expensive if you go individually. However, you won't be disappointed.
