Kani Kawa’s three kinds of crabs promise a luxurious crustacean experience.

King Crabs prove the sweetest and meatiest, close to the succulence of lobsters.

Snow Crabs taste subtly briny with the flavours of the ocean, while Horsehair Crabs are the most delicate with beautifully tender fleshy.

Choose your crab parts from the counter or order them whole from the kitchen.

Kani Kawa is a protein powerhouse beyond crabs.

Indulge in premium halal-certified Shimomuragyu wagyu beef, which has won the top prize at Japan’s prominent wagyu championship for 10 consecutive years.
