Welcome to Shellfish, Shrimp & Crab — your cozy 6-seat seafood counter in the heart of Shinsaibashi, Osaka.
As Christmas and the end of the year approach, many travelers look for a special dinner experience:
somewhere intimate, somewhere local, and somewhere unforgettable.
If that’s what you’re searching for, our restaurant may be the perfect fit.
■ Why Our Restaurant Is Chosen for Christmas & Year-End Dinners
December is a season filled with special moments — holidays, reunions, travel memories, and quality time with the people you care about.
Unlike large, busy restaurants, our 6-seat counter offers a calm and personal dining experience,
where you can watch your food being prepared right in front of you.
■ Live Lobster Cooking — Our Signature Experience
Our specialty is live Canadian lobster (Omaru lobster), steamed in a Staub pot.
We first show you the live lobster, then place it into the pot with herbs and white wine.
As the steam rises, the aroma fills the counter. When the lobster is perfectly cooked,
we open the lid in front of you, letting you enjoy the smell of fresh lobster,
before taking it to the kitchen to cut and plate it beautifully.
This live-cooking experience is one of the reasons why many international guests choose us for their
Christmas dinner or year-end celebration in Osaka.
■ More Than Just Lobster — A Seasonal Seafood Experience
While lobster is our star, our courses showcase a variety of seasonal seafood.
We design each course to bring out the natural flavors of shellfish, crab, and fresh ocean ingredients.
Many guests tell us:
- “I wanted something lighter than steak for Christmas.”
- “I wanted a seafood-focused dinner to end the year.”
Our courses are built exactly for that kind of evening.
■ Perfect for Anniversaries & Christmas Nights
The small size of our restaurant makes it ideal for couples or travelers looking for a quiet, special dinner.
- Easy to talk
