Crab Dining Kanon
Crab hotpot is really uncommon in most places, but hidden on the edge of Hirafu on Sakura-Zaka Street is Crab Dining Kanon, the best place to have a hotpot meal filled with fresh hairy, king, or snow crab. The little restaurant offers just two exclusive courses, all-inclusive of appetisers, crab gratin, dessert, and rice dishes. Each course has snow crab hotpot, boiled hairy crab, and grilled king crab. The main difference between the basic and special course is the addition of shabu-shabu beef.
King crab is the largest type of crab but the hairy crab is the sweetest and most flavourful. However, the snow crab is unique to the Atlantic and North Pacific Ocean. It is most abundant in the winter (hence the name); therefore, we recommend taking full advantage of consuming some during the wintertime! Advance reservation is necessary and there is no à la carte menu.
