Crab Cuisine, as the name suggests, is a crab-themed Japanese restaurant, which is both the first and currently the only one in Xi'an. Crab Restaurant is a subsidiary of Ichimatsu Restaurant Group and opened in January 2016. It mainly sells three famous crabs in Japan, king crab, Matsuba crab and red crab.
In China, there is "the autumn wind rises, the crab feet itch; Chrysanthemums bloom, smell crabs", autumn is also the best time to eat Japanese crabs. Crab cuisine is one of the more distinctive categories of Japanese cuisine, in which a chef can make an entire set of dishes from a single crab. If you want to experience crab cuisine with obvious characteristics in Xi'an, it must be crab.
The restaurant serves fresh Japanese crabs every day, and almost every dish revolves around crabs. In particular, November is the time to eat Matsuba crab in Japan. The most direct way to taste the whole body of Matsuba crab is to eat more than one crab, from crab paste, crab legs to crab shells, each part can be used, crab sashimi, crab shell steamed eggs, crab hot pot, crab leg tempura, etc., there are many ways to eat and experience different experiences. King crab is mainly made of crab legs, which are delicious and full of meat, and the aroma is full after grilling, and the crab meat is sweeter.
The crab restaurant offers both a la carte and well-matched crab courses, from appetizers, sashimi, sushi, fried dishes, and main dishes, all of which are involved in crab elements. Diners who have difficulty choosing a meal may wish to start with the set menu. Although the crab is similar to the Japanese crab restaurant "Crab Rakudo" and the Shanghai crab restaurant "Okadaya" in terms of management methods and dishes, there is still a big gap in richness compared to the latter two.
The restaurant environment of Crab One Cuisine is a plus, and the level of service is a plus. The restaurant environment follows Ichimatsu's classical, traditional Japanese style as always, but the original wood color tone has been replaced with black. The restaurant is dominated by private rooms, which are separated by landscaping, and the shade is staggered rather than spacious. The window side also has a direct view of the south gate. On the contrary, the bar seat of Crab One is slightly narrow and restrictive, so it is not recommended to choose a bar counter. The service level of the restaurant is basically the same as that of Ichimatsu, and the attitude is sincere, and the words and deeds try to create a deep Japanese atmosphere for diners. It is worth mentioning that there is no service charge for mid-to-high-end Japanese restaurants in Xi'an, including Xieyi.
