Kawayuka at the Crab Samurai Villa

Enjoy high-quality crab as much as you like at Kani Samurai Bettei in Ponto-cho, Kyoto.

Located in Ponto-chō (Nakagyō-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture), “Kani Samurai Bettei” is a sister restaurant of “Kani Samurai,” which specializes in dishes featuring premium crab. Here, in a serene Japanese-style setting that exudes the warmth of wood, guests can luxuriously savor snow crab, which offers a rich umami flavor and an elegant sweetness. The charming location, overlooking the gentle murmur of the Kamogawa River, creates a truly exquisite experience that engages all five senses.

Snow Crab Meal Set: 6,600 yen

Starting in May, enjoy the Kyoto atmosphere while savoring dishes made with premium crab and Kyoto vegetables at our summer riverside dining area. From the “Zuwai Gozen,” featuring half a whole Zuwai snow crab and a crab sushi platter, to the “Shokado Lunch,” where you can enjoy crab dishes alongside sashimi and other appetizers, every option is a must-try for crab lovers. Since there are no other riverside dining areas adjacent to the north side, the view is exceptional. Spend a luxurious time gazing out at Sanjo Ohashi Bridge and the Kamogawa River.
