Yes—our small seafood restaurant in Shinsaibashi has an English menu. Our spoken English is not perfect, but we will welcome you warmly and do our best to communicate clearly. If you are looking for a relaxed seafood dinner near both Shinsaibashi and Namba, our six-seat counter offers a personal setting for the evening.
A small counter where questions are welcome
Kai to Ebi Soshite Kani is a tiny restaurant run by a husband-and-wife team. All six seats are at the counter, so you can ask about the dishes, wine, or how to enjoy the meal without needing formal restaurant English.
We may occasionally use simple words, gestures, or the menu to explain something, but friendly communication matters more to us than perfect grammar.
What can you enjoy here?
Our signature ingredient is live lobster, served as part of the seafood experience we create at the counter. We also offer around 30 wines, all available by the glass, with a particular interest in Japanese wine. This makes it easy to explore one glass at a time rather than choosing a full bottle immediately.
If you have allergies or foods you do not eat
Please tell us when you make your reservation. When possible, we can consider an alternative ingredient. However, some items cannot be changed because of the preparation process or ingredients used in a stock or sauce. Advance notice gives us the best chance to check what is possible. Please understand that each request requires consultation and cannot be guaranteed.
