Kani Doraku Ginza Hatchome
SaveA crab restaurant by Shimbashi Station, with kaiseki courses that run to nine dishes.
A lighter crab set called Ariake is served at midday, next to the full kaiseki courses.
MoreWhat kind of place
Kani Doraku is a crab specialist, and this branch is on the second floor of Ginza Nine Building 2, next to Shimbashi Station.
It seats 146 people at ordinary tables and at sunken-floor tables, where the floor is cut away under the table so your legs hang down. There are ten private rooms.
The signature dish is kanisuki, a crab hot pot, and one of the courses the restaurant recommends, Mangetsu, runs to nine dishes.
The basement of the same building is a row of other restaurants, open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., so it is already serving half an hour before Kani Doraku opens at 11:30 a.m.

With kidsThe part that matters
If a nine-course crab dinner feels like a lot with kids at the table, the lighter midday crab set (Ariake) is served until 4 p.m., so even a late lunch still gets you the crab.
Order the children's crab set (Akane) and your child gets a tray of their own: crab croquette, crab gratin, crab sushi, dessert, and juice.
There are ten private rooms, so ask for one when you book and your family eats in a room of its own instead of out in the main dining room.
A listing also notes a baby bed and a diaper-changing space, without saying where in the building they are.
It is a two-minute walk from the Ginza exit of Shimbashi Station, and an elevator goes up to the second floor, so you get there without stairs or a long walk.
By age0-1 / 2-3 / 4-6
- Ages 0-1There are ten private rooms. The seating includes tatami rooms and horigotatsu tables with a sunken well for your legs, and on the seats you step up to with your shoes off a baby too small for a chair can be at the same table as everyone else. The restaurant is on the 2nd floor of Ginza Nine Building 2, and its own facility list says "elevator provided," so you can come up with the stroller.Gurunavi's facilities column lists a baby bed and a diaper changing space, though not where they are. There is also a multipurpose accessible restroom. Every seat is non-smoking; smoking is only in the dedicated smoking room. Reservations go through the official ebica booking page or by phone (03-3572-7272). It is a 2-minute walk from the Ginza exit of Shimbashi Station, or 1 minute from exits 3 and 5 of Shimbashi Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line.
- Ages 2-3The children's set, Kodomo no Kani Gozen Akane, is 3,300 yen including tax and arrives as one tray with salad, a crab croquette, crab gratin, crab sushi, dessert and juice. The tatami rooms and horigotatsu seats are ones you step up to with your shoes off, so a child who wants out of a chair can simply stay where they are.The children's set can be ordered here: Ginza Hatchome is on the official menu's list of shops that serve it. At midday there is a lighter tray than the kaiseki courses, Ohiru no Kani Gozen Ariake, served until 16:00. There are ten private rooms. On children, the restaurant's Hot Pepper page says "children very welcome, and families can eat here in comfort."
- Ages 4-6The signature dish is kanisuki, a hot pot the family gathers round at the table. At a horigotatsu seat your legs go down into the well under the table, so a child sits with the adults without having to kneel. The menu runs on crab alone: the nine-course Kani Kaiseki Mangetsu, the kanisuki course Myojin, and a charcoal-grilled kaiseki.There are English and simplified Chinese menus. Opening hours are 11:30-22:00, with last entry and last order at 21:30. The restaurant has 146 seats and takes parties of up to 28. Ginza Nine has no car park of its own, so if you drive, use the affiliated New Shimbashi Building underground car park or the Nishi-Ginza car park and collect a parking discount voucher: 60 minutes for a bill of 10,000 yen or more, 120 minutes from 20,000 yen.
