I wouldn't say it was that great of an experience. When we went there, there was a huge tour group, they were very loud and it seemed as if they were getting the bulk of the waiter's attention, while our dishes were taking 20-30 minutes to arrive, with the exception of the first order. It was extremely stressful as we were still hungry and the 60 minute window was cut very short when dishes were taking that long. The waitress was very nice, though, and allowed us to order some more despite the fact that our time was up.

⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆ Visited Kanigin Nagoya Meieki Branch for a crab feast, but overall the experience was just average. The 2L and snow crab were the only highlights — sweet, juicy, and worth the price. Unfortunately, the red crabs lacked flavor and felt like filler more than a feature.

The cleanliness of the restaurant left a lot to be desired. The floors were sticky, and there was a noticeable moldy smell, which took away from the overall dining experience.

Would recommend coming only if you're specifically after the premium crab cuts — otherwise, there are better seafood spots...
