Among the bustling Nijo Market, known as Sapporo's kitchen, stands out with its strikingly bright red building. We'd like to introduce you to "Kanikosen," a restaurant characterized by its lively atmosphere inside.
1. Exceptionally fresh! Large in the store
Live crabs delivered from the fish tank
The biggest point of pride for "Kani Kosen" is the large fish tank installed inside the restaurant.
Yes. King crabs, snow crabs, hairy crabs, and other crabs that are in season at the time are moving around energetically.
Live cooking experience: We fry the chicken from our live tanks only after receiving your order, ensuring exceptional freshness and sweetness.
Choose how you want to eat it: Enjoy the full flavor of crab with our various preparation methods, including hearty "boiled" crab, "grilled" crab that highlights the natural sweetness of the crab, and "sashimi" crab with a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
2. The epitome of luxury!
A generous portion
Seafood rice bowl
Alongside crab dishes, another popular item is the seafood rice bowl, overflowing with toppings.
A presentation like a jewel box: Packed with Hokkaido's finest seafood, including crab meat, rich sea urchin, bursting salmon roe, and fatty salmon.
Market-direct quality: Taking advantage of our location within the Nijo Market, we use only the finest ingredients that were auctioned off that very morning.
3. Safe even for first-timers.
Lively hospitality
While maintaining the lively atmosphere of a market, the restaurant boasts a clean and comfortable interior, making it a great place for families and couples to enjoy a meal at their leisure. A nice powder room is also available!
Instructions on how to eat: Even if you're not good at peeling crab, don't worry. The staff will kindly teach you how to eat it, and their hospitality is outstanding.
