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!
