Kani-suki (snow crab hotpot) · Osaka
Whole snow-crab legs and matsuba crab meat simmered table-side in a light kombu-and-soy broth with leek, mushroom and tofu. Osaka's winter big-occasion meal.
Kani Doraku opened its first Dotonbori room in 1962 with the giant moving crab sign that has since become an Osaka landmark, and codified kani-suki as the city's winter banquet. Snow crab (zuwai-gani) and matsuba-gani from the Sea of Japan run November to March; Osaka diners eat the legs as sashimi first, then drop the remaining meat into the simmering pot.
