We had earlier made reservation with this main outlet for an earlier date, but for unforeseeable circumstances, we were not able to make it for the earlier reservation.
So a couple of days before our departure from Osaka, while shopping for some souvenirs at Dotonbori,...we tried our luck to do a walk-in, and surprise surprise! They did have a table available for us at 18:30hr!
Once we were shown to our table, a male Japanese staff was very patient in explaining to us the concept and ordering procedures. He was very patient to listen to my broken Japanese, before confirming with me our orders in English.
The dishes were exquisitely presented and served, and the crabs tasted so fresh, although some of us were not too accustomed to the raw crab meat taste. We did enjoy the chilled crab meat with a dash of vinegar, and that was by far our favorite.
After a course of crabs prepared in no less than 7 different ways, we were totally full and satisfied. We were all happy that we managed to have this wonderful meal despite missing our earlier reservations.More
