Shellfish, Shrimp and Crab is a hidden seafood restaurant in Shinsaibashi with only six counter seats, run by a husband-and-wife team. The signature dish is live Canadian lobster, steamed tableside in a Staub pot with herbs and white wine, alongside fresh shucked oysters sourced from across Japan and an escargot baked in garlic herb butter. The wine list offers more than 30 varieties by the glass, with a focus on Japanese bottles including award-winning labels from Nagano and Yamagata. The restaurant also operates a daytime ramen counter, Shellfish Broth Noodles, serving a luxurious shellfish-dashi bowl on select weekdays. Craft beer rotates by the keg. Perfect for anniversaries, dates and special-occasion dining, this intimate counter makes every guest feel like a VIP. The theatrical lobster preparation, generous wine programme and personal hospitality from the owner-chef create a memorable dining experience unlike anything else in the Shinsaibashi area.Operating Hours

A wonderful couple that welcomes you to this small 6 seat seafood experience. Fabulous steamed lobster, fresh oysters and much more. The couple tries to personalize every meal for their guests. We felt like family by the time we left.

Such an amazing spot. The chef clearly knows European and American cuisine, and the owners are genuinely sweet and welcoming. My friend and I stayed for hours, eating, having beers, and just enjoying their company.

I am a big seafood fan and a big critic most times.
