豊橋で上海蟹を食べ尽くす！ : Chuka Kappou Chaina

This store is located about 5 minutes walk from Toyohashi Station. In Toyohashi's busiest downtown area, which is surrounded by clubs and snack bars, this restaurant has a luxurious and calm atmosphere with a Japanese feel. There are about 6 counter seats inside the store, and there are also table seats in the back. The store has a luxurious feel and is calm. On this day, I went to the counter seat. The chef, who was trained at the Akasaka Imperial Villa, is a good-looking guy and looks like he's going to make delicious food (lol).On this day, we'll be looking for Shanghai crab. Before cooking, I was shown the Shanghai crab, and it was said that it was still alive. He was surprisingly energetic and even managed to run away (lol). Freshness is the key to Shanghai crab, and of course it affects how delicious it tastes. There was no particular menu, so we talked with the chef and received recommendations. ◆Assortment of appetizers (Hong Kong-style grilled pork, Kyoto's raw gluten dengaku, etc.) Hong Kong-style grilled pork is juicy and delicious with a unique sweet flavor. Namafu dengaku has a chewy texture! ◆Shanghai crab pickled in Shaoxing wine Raw female Shanghai crab pickled in Shaoxing wine. I'll suck it all. It has an indescribably rich flavor and is delicious. There are also plenty of eggs. At the end, pour some Shaoxing wine into the shell and drink it up! ◆Stir-fried green vegetables with Shanghai crab sauce The crispy greens go well with the bean paste containing plenty of Shanghai crab meat, egg, and milt. ◆Steamed Shanghai Crab Compare the eating of male and female crabs. The staff at the store will help you loosen it up, but it seems like it's a very difficult process (lol).The males are characterized by milt, while the females are characterized by eggs, and each has its own merits. ◆Doughman crab gratin This is a high-quality crab that can be caught in Lake Hamana at this time of year. This is made into a gratin. ◆Sweet potato Tempura Amazing Tempura! The sweet potatoes are grown locally in Toyohashi, and they are moist, sweet, and delicious. It's a dessert. I was able to enjoy Shanghai crab! It's only available until November, so I'd like to try it at least once more. (Drinks) ・Draft beer x 2 ・Shaoxing wine 5 years old ・Shaoxing wine 15 years old
