"Crab SAKABA" CARAT "", an adult bar where you can "casually" enjoy ingredients with a slightly high threshold such as crabs, abalone, blowfish, and Japanese beef, opened in Roppongi, Tokyo on February 16th.


The name is only "carat", and the two-story store is gorgeous in appearance and interior! Among them, warm designs such as kimono, tatami mats, bonsai, and Japanese paper are given, giving a feeling of "Japaneseness".



Carat's goal is to excavate the "raw stones" of the ingredients and make them a "stage" that shines brightly. The carat menu includes a lineup of "raw diamonds" such as abalone, blowfish, sea urchin, suppon, and Japanese beef, as well as crabs (thorn crabs, horsehair crabs, and snow crabs) purchased directly from producers in Rausu, Hokkaido. I am.

● I went to the store and ate it!

On the day of the opening, the En-eating editorial department also visited the restaurant and received a recommended menu!

Is this still a fresh crab! "Steamed dumplings wrapped in horsehair crab with plenty of soup" (980 yen), "Horsehair crab, king crab, snow crab, three kinds of bite cream croquette" (1,180 yen), "Oyster & club shooter" using fresh and chewy raw oysters While the exquisite dishes such as "Three Kinds" (1,180 yen) are lined up, the one that I was particularly impressed with was the "Grilled King Crab's Raw Uni-Japanese Beef" Genji " " (2,480 yen).


The roasted king crab is wrapped in Hiroshima pedigree Wagyu beef "Genjo" (!) And topped with raw sea urchin from Hokkaido (!!). The moment you put it in your mouth, the indescribable aroma of roasted king crab spreads, and the more you chew, the more delicious the crab and Japanese beef, the moderate saltiness, and the rich richness of sea urchin fill your mouth. It's so delicious that you can't help but lose your words ...!


In other words, this tastes like a symbol of the city of Roppongi, where various people gather . It tastes like it enhances the uplifting feeling peculiar to the night, which makes you expect the encounter (with cooking) and the wonderful happening after this.

At first, you will be thrilled by the on-parade of high-class ingredients served on one plate, but please take the plunge and try it with a bite! In the next moment, the sparkling "Giroppon Night" will spread in your mouth.

Also, if you want to drink alcohol, you should definitely try "Crab Claw Sake" (1,000 yen). It is a hot sake with crab claws that are still thick. After taking a sip, the fragrance and umami of the crab and the slight scent of the rocky shore will come out of your nose. In the cold winter, this is chilling ...!


Lastly, I would like to recommend the " Suppon Soup and Honzuwai Crab Wonton Noodles " (1,280 yen), which is perfect for drinking sake. Sesame and a little yuzu are added to the soup made by slowly boiling "soft-shelled turtle", which is said to have a nourishing and tonic effect, to make dandan noodles. Wonton wrapped in soft-shelled turtle meat and snow crab meat are combined.


A rich but gentle mouthfeel with a mellow sesame flavor added to a luxurious soup in which soft-shelled turtle and crab dashi are double-melted. There is no smell of soft-shelled turtle, and it is delicious that you want to drink until the end.

It is well-balanced with the thin and refreshing noodles, and the spiciness of poking the throat is behind, and you can finish the meal in a blink of an eye.



In addition to this, the menu also includes a gorgeous and bubbly seafood platter. All of them shine like diamonds!


If you're feeling tired lately and want to get a little more energetic, why not try a carat, jewel-like exquisite dish and a sparkling after-five?
