If you're a fan of crab dishes and visiting Tokyo, **"Kani Doraku Shibuya"** is a must-visit spot! 🚗 Convenient Location｜Located on Shibuya Koen-dori Kani Doraku Shibuya is perfectly situated on Shibuya Koen-dori, just a 5-minute walk from Shibuya Station (Hachiko Exit). Walk along Koen-dori, and after passing the Disney Store, turn left into the entrance and take the elevator directly to the 9th–10th floors. The building also houses a cinema, making it easy to spot. Look for the giant moving crab sign at the entrance—it’s hard to miss! 📆 Easy Reservations｜Online booking recommended This restaurant supports online reservations, making it convenient and saving you from waiting in line. Even on weekdays, the restaurant attracts many visitors, especially tourists from around the world, so booking in advance is highly recommended! ⸻ 🍱 Dining Environment｜Comfortable Japanese ambiance with attentive service The restaurant offers a spacious and elegant interior. Staff dressed in traditional kimonos are friendly and polite, often proactively refilling your tea, which enhances the overall dining experience. ⸻ 🦀 Dining Experience｜Weekday lunch set with great value We opted for the weekday lunch-exclusive set "Akemi" (4,180 yen including tax), a mid-range option. While simpler than the dinner sets, it offers a variety of crab dishes that are absolutely worth trying! Appetizers • Cold crab legs with vinegar sauce—refreshing and appetizing • Crab meat chawanmushi—silky smooth with a hint of crab sweetness Main Courses • Crab meat kamameshi—perfectly cooked rice infused with crab aroma, truly satisfying • Tempura crab legs—crispy and not greasy, a delightful surprise • Crab yuba shumai—highly recommended! The delicate pairing of crab meat and yuba creates an excellent texture ⸻ Conclusion｜A must-visit for crab lovers, great value lunch set From service to ambiance to food quality, "Kani Doraku Shibuya" maintains its high standards. The lunch menu is reasonably priced, making it a perfect choice for a refined Japanese meal during your shopping break. Be sure to book in advance, especially during peak travel seasons or cherry blossom time when reservations are hard to come by.
