栄　蟹料理【活 かに市】さん : Katsu Kani Ichi

Tabelog score at the time of posting: 3.61 A friend who is a gourmet told me about a famous crab that can only be eaten at this time of year, and asked me if I would like to go with him since I had made a reservation.The crab was an Echizen crab.It doesn't often go outside the prefecture. I heard that there is a rare restaurant where you can eat Echizen crab in Nagoya instead of Fukui.If that's what the person says, then there is no doubt that I will start adjusting the schedule.I managed to adjust the schedule and of course I will head straight to Nagoya. I couldn't stop being excited from the moment the date was decided.The area is called Nishikisan, which is famous for its downtown area.The glittering neon lights create a unique atmosphere.The restaurant is located at the back of the first floor of a restaurant building. The Echizen crab course was 46,900 yen, which is a fair amount, but I don't know when I'll be able to get Echizen crab at this time of my life, and I've heard that the price is going up every year, so I'll start with the usual ``Raw'' supermarket. Cheers with a small bottle of dry Echizen crab.Here is a presentation of the Echizen crab that we will have today.I will try to take a photo of it, but it is still in a good state and is moving on the plate.Here are my main impressions: ◇Seasonal appetizer Boiled fugu skin Warabi White fish Finishing Here are the five types of mackerel.It has a refreshing, light flavor, and yet it has a very elaborate taste.The one that left an impression on me was the white fish.It also has Chinese ink, making it a seasoning that goes well with alcohol.◇Crab Dog This is what it's like. Www Loosen crab meat, caviar, sprouted green onion, spiked perilla, served in a hand-rolled style.The refreshing aroma of the spiked perilla allows you to enjoy the flavor of the crab.Moreover, the amount of loosened crab is large, so I'm looking forward to future dishes. ◇Crab Shumai This is steamed seasonal vegetables and crab meat.It's called crab shumai, but the skin of the shumai is actually crab meat, making it a luxurious shumai. Enjoy it piping hot.When you bite into it, the flavor of the crab overflows in your mouth. No need for bad condiments ◇ Live crab sashimi I've been waiting for this. When you think of crab, this is it. You can't miss this after all. There's soy sauce in the dropper that comes with it, so you can drizzle it as you like. This transparent fish The peeled crab will bring a smile to your face. First, eat it as it is to check its freshness. The Echizen crab was still moving. Then, to avoid disturbing the taste of the ingredients, add a little soy sauce. The deliciousness rushes into your mouth in waves.The subtle sweetness is very elegant, and it is also very soft.I was reluctant to eat it, but it was a quick kill. ◇Live crab shabu shabu with claws and legs shabu shabu shabu It's a dish. The flavor of the crab melts out of the light broth, and the sweetness really stands out. When it's cooked, the aroma comes out even more, and I started to gulp it down. A wet towel is a must. On this day, I was lucky and it came with prawns. That's right. It's serendipity. ◇Charcoal-grilled live crab Crab legs grilled over charcoal. The aroma is indescribable. The flavor of the charcoal and the sweetness of the crab are a perfect match. It's delicious. ◇Live crab tempura Crispy tempura. Slightly steamed. The cooked Echizen crab has a completely different look. The sweet aroma of the crab rises from the batter, and the umami that was trapped inside is truly delicious, as I've said many times before. ◇Live crab Miso shabu shabu Crab Miso Then sake comes in. Kariho Daiginjo This crab miso and crab meat really go well with Japanese sake. This is the first time I've ever had miso that doesn't have such a strong taste, and I can drink sake with this for a long time. ◇Seiko Crab Earthenware Pot Rice The flavor of the crab is really strong in the rice.It's the best rice to end with.It's a situation where you can't eat all the crab so far.I thoroughly enjoyed it.I'd like to visit you after the ban is lifted this year.
