Ramen&Bistro Crab Club — Restaurant in Tokyo

Three of us visited this Crab Club and were absolutely delighted by their unique specialty, ramen in a broth made from crab. The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced, making each bite a memorable experience. The broth truely set it apart from other ramen I tried. The ambience of the restaurant was cozy and welcoming. While the staff does not seem to communicate in English, they were friendly and attentive. I wish I lived nearby so I could enjoy this ramen more often. If you are a fan of seafood and ramen, this place is a must visit. We tried “tanrei”. We also had “maze soba”. Maze soba was also delicious.

Here is what the menu says (only in Japanese) “Tanrei This is a soup made by simmering blue crab over low heat to extract its aroma and flavor without boiling. The flat, curly noodles have a pleasant bite. Enjoy by mixing the crab meat, placed on top of grilled tomatoes, into the soup.”

“Maze Soba This is a luxurious mixed noodle dish made with red snow crab meat and crab miso. The flavors of crab, enoki, mushrooms, and oyster soy sauce explode in your mouth. In the latter half, you can enjoy a change in taste by adding lime vinegar from the table. It’s a dish that will impress...

This is probably the most underrated ramen place I've ever been to. Crab themed ramen is not the most common kind you'll find and I have no idea why not based on how great this place is.

They have a special dish every month (at the time of writing it is crab carbonara) which helps to keep it fresh each time I come.

The only negative is that the recommended dish for first time visitors is probably my least favourite by far! It's incredibly light on flavour, which is astonishing compared to how strongly flavoured the rest of the dishes are. I'd strongly recommend picking any of the other dishes instead - they're all amazing.

Whilst I'm pleased that I can always get seated immediately, it never seems that busy (I think in a different location it would easily attract queues of people). It would be a great shame if this unique ramen shop closed down so...
