For the first time in Japan, one can have real (本物） Chilli and Pepper Crab! Right in the heart of Tokyo in Shinagawa (品川）, adjacent to Meridien Pacific Hotel！Opened by the same people who run the Jumbo seafood restaurant in Singapore, the taste was authentic down to the deep fried "mun thou" (bread dumpling) but portions are measured in the Japanese way. So for 4 people, you get sort of 2 claws and 2 body pieces (looks like that), which is hardly 1 whole crab. But then, what can you expect from a country that loves crabs （ズワイガニ）legs?
They use real Sri Lankan mud crabs, so its no copy (二世物） ！ The wines were a bit mediocre, what can you expect for a couple of thousand yen? Wines are usually marked up double, at the least in restaurants....They had Chianti Classico, Baron Rostchild Merlot, but these are not serious wines. More like Vino Tavola...
However, what difference is there in Singapore seafood restaurants?
Of note is the deep fried garlic butter prawns, quite bit different from the cereal butter prawns you normally get in SG...
Worth a trip if you crave for Chilli and Pepper Crab! Especially if all you normally get to enjoy of crabs are crab legs...
