Amimoto Honkan: Shinsaibashi Crab Multi-course Meal and Weekend Lunch Set
It takes about five minutes on foot from Osaka Namba Station to reach Amimoto Honkan in Nishi Shinsaibashi. This crab restaurant is part of the Kani Doraku group and is regarded by many as the group’s ‘secret hideaway,’ specializing in high-end crab dishes. The restaurant features private rooms, tatami seating, and chairs. If you want to enjoy crab dishes near Namba or Shinsaibashi, you can choose the crab multi-course meal or the signature crab hot pot set.
The restaurant opens at five in the afternoon on weekdays and at eleven thirty in the morning on weekends and public holidays. If you want to have a crab lunch set, you can take advantage of the lunch hours on weekends and holidays; on weekdays, you might consider the group’s Amimoto Bekkan.
Upon entering the restaurant, the space is spacious and quiet, with multiple private rooms that allow for a peaceful dining experience without the disturbance of outside noise. This place is perfect for those who want to truly enjoy a meal of crab, whether it’s a small gathering for two, a family meal, or a celebration of a special occasion. The dishes are presented in multi-course meal style, with appetizers, main courses, and rice dishes, allowing you to taste crab in almost every dish.
The most frequently mentioned dish is crab raw seafood. The restaurant offers fresh cuts of snow crab, king crab, or horsehair crab depending on the season, sliced thick and translucent. The meat is firm yet melts in your mouth, with a distinct sweetness and freshness that requires little seasoning. ‘Sweet like eating fruit’ is how many describe this purest dish in the entire multi-course meal. Next, grilled crab legs or crab bodies are served, with slightly charred shells that release juices and the aroma of crab fat when bitten into. The grilling method maximizes the crab’s fat and sweetness, making it ‘the best accompaniment to rice.’
The crab multi-course meal includes snow crab raw seafood, Japanese steamed egg custard, battered fried dish, grilled crab, or small hot pots arranged in different sets. Crab hot pot or crab hot pot is also one of the signatures. For hot pot lovers, you can choose the ‘Shiosai,’ ‘Shiokaze,’ or ‘Shion’ crab hot pot sets, paired with a broth made from white soy sauce, kelp, and bonito, enjoyed with crab and vegetables.
The broth is clear, filled with a lot of crab meat and seasonal vegetables. After slowly bringing it to a boil, the fresh flavor of the crab completely melds into the soup. After finishing the meat, the remaining broth is used to cook a rice porridge, which many people consider a must-do finale. Some people specifically mention that the final bowl of rice porridge has a rich flavor that is even more impressive than the previous dishes. Other common dishes include crab battered fried dish, steamed crab, crab hot pot, and various side dishes made with crab meat. The entire multi-course meal design allows one to fully experience the flavors of crab through different cooking methods such as raw, grilled, boiled, fried, and steamed.
For a la carte, there are snow crab and king crab dishes, whole boiled horsehair crab, as well as nigiri sushi, pressed sushi, and thick rolls. If companions want to try different dishes, they can also order crab Japanese steamed egg custard or baked crab; after enjoying the hot pot, one can finish with rice porridge or thick wheat noodles.
If you want to eat lightly on a weekend afternoon, you can compare the three lunch sets: ‘Kaguya’, ‘Karin’, and ‘Kaori’; for dinner, you can choose between crab multi-course meal or crab hot pot based on your budget. Everyone first selects the dishes they want to eat, then pairs them with sushi and hot pots, enjoying from appetizers to the final rice and noodles.
If you want to enjoy crab in a satisfying multi-course meal style, ‘Amimoto Honkan’ is a choice worth considering. Watching the translucent crab meat on the plate, the slightly charred crab legs on the charcoal grill, and that final bowl of flavorful rice porridge is the most direct charm of this restaurant. On a night in Namba, such a crab multi-course meal meal wraps up the day and is a very satisfying arrangement for seafood lovers.
