Hello everyone! This is Ebikani Hiroshi, the owner of “Shellfish, Shrimp, and Crab” (Kai to Ebi soshite Kani)! 🦞🦀
Today, we have some very exciting news to share with you all!
Recently, our restaurant was featured on a popular and long-running TV program in the Kansai region, “Kansai Gastronomy Journey: Gourmand’s Hideaway”! It is such an honor for our small restaurant to be chosen for a show that has been loved for 16 years.
🦞 A Stunning TV Debut! …But the Owner Has Regrets?
The star of our segment on the show was, of course, our signature dish: Live Lobster.
We take a fresh, live lobster right out of the tank and dynamically steam it in a Staub pot right in front of your eyes. The moment we open the lid, you are enveloped in the rich aroma of herbs, followed by the plump, sweet taste of fresh lobster meat…! We are thrilled that this overwhelming live performance was broadcast on TV.
The lobster itself was perfectly confident and delivered a flawless performance in front of the cameras. However… I, the owner, am deeply reflecting on my own performance (laughs). I got so nervous being filmed that I couldn’t speak as smoothly as I wanted to about how amazing the lobster is. I was incredibly stiff! I hope our viewers can get a good laugh out of my awkwardness on screen.
💎 Why We Are Chosen as a “Hidden Gem”
Why did such a wonderful program choose us out of countless restaurants? We believe it’s because they highly valued our commitment to an overwhelming live cooking experience and the special, intimate atmosphere we provide.
Our restaurant has a maximum of only 6 counter seats. Tucked away in a quiet alley just slightly removed from the hustle and bustle of Shinsaibashi, we are truly an “adult hideaway.”
Because we are a small restaurant, we can do things that larger places cannot. We cook according to your dining pace, serve the ingredients at their absolute peak right in front of you, and enjoy casual conversations together in a relaxed setting. We pride ourselves on this intimate distance, which is why so many guests choose us for dates, anniversaries, and special celebrations.
Whether you are a new guest discovering us through TV or social media, or a regular who has supported us for a long time, we will continue to welcome everyone with the finest seafood and our best smiles so you can truly feel, “I’m so glad I came here.”
If you are visiting Osaka or staying near Shinsaibashi, please come and enjoy a special dinner with us. We are looking forward to your reservation!
Aiming for a society where more people find eating out “fun.”
Thank you for reading to the end!
