If you’re visiting Osaka and looking for an unforgettable seafood experience, don’t miss “Shellfish, Shrimp & Crab,” a hidden gem located in the heart of Shinsaibashi. This intimate, counter-style restaurant offers a unique way to enjoy live lobster, perfectly paired with a curated selection of wine.
Experience Live Lobster, the Japanese Way
At “Shellfish, Shrimp & Crab,” we serve live lobster in a theatrical and interactive style. First, you’ll see the lobster alive before it’s gently steamed with herbs and white wine in a Staub cocotte. The aroma is released right at your counter seat when the pot is opened. Finally, the lobster is cut and beautifully plated for you to enjoy.
This method ensures the freshest taste, and it’s all done without cutting the lobster alive — something that surprises many international guests in a good way.
Wine Pairing with Every Dish
We offer over 30 kinds of wine by the glass, using Coravin to maintain perfect quality. Whether you’re a wine enthusiast or a casual drinker, our pairings are designed to elevate your seafood dining experience.
How to Reserve
This is a small restaurant with only six counter seats (eight for private use), so reservations are highly recommended.
We also welcome walk-ins when space is available, but booking in advance ensures the best experience.
