“Kani-goya” Crab Shack

When it becomes the season for snow crab, Crab House (“Kani-goya” in Japanese) is only open for a limited time in Matsue. And offers a feast of fresh crab and other seafoods that you can even cook yourself. The Crab Shack usually opens in January and closes in March, but dates change slightly every year. Inside the crab shack is “izakaya” style seating with a grill on every table. Customers are free to pick and choose their own seafoods from the food counters and cook to their own liking. Locally produced sake is also available.
