All 7 Crab Dishes

Seasonal Appetizer

Sassa

Hiroo, Shibuya·$$$$

¥3800.00

Shredded snow crab with chrysanthemums and seasonal garnishes.

Tip: The clarity and brightness of the jelly casing is intentional—it's meant to taste clean, not rich.

Kegani no Temaki (Hokkaido Crab Handroll)

Sushi Saito

Roppongi·$$$$

¥50000.00

Handroll filled with sweet Hokkaido horse hair crab and warm red-vinegar rice.

Tip: This is often the first course. Eat it immediately—the seaweed is toasted to a specific temperature and will lose its incredible 'snap' within seconds. It's the best crab roll in Tokyo.

Brandy Crab

Sushi Kimura

Futako-Tamagawa·$$$$

¥44000.00

High-quality crab meat marinated in aged brandy and aromatics, served as a decadent appetizer.

Tip: The combination might sound strange, but it's remarkably addictive! The brandy flavor is subtle but beautiful. It's the most photographed dish for a reason—the visual of the translucent crab is beautiful.

Kegani (Hokkaido Crab) with Miso Sauce

Sushi Hashimoto

Shintomicho·$$$$

¥36300.00

Sweet horse hair crab meat served with a rich sauce made from its own savory roe.

Tip: This is non-negotiable! The crab flavor is remarkably concentrated. Try the first bite with just a touch of the provided salt instead of the soy sauce to taste the sweetness of the Hokkaido roe.
