It’s summertime in Hokkaido, and this means hairy crabs are in season! To celebrate this harvest, Ken Japanese Restaurant is launching a limited-time-only Hokkaido Hairy Crab Lunch Set, which will be available from now till the end of September.
Known for the sweet and firm meat, savour the imported oceanic treasure, which will be prepared in four different ways in the Hokkaido Hairy Crab Lunch Set ($88). First, whet your appetite with the flavourful Steam Beancurd Skin with Hairy Crab.
Next, the seasonal crustacean comes in the form of a refreshing salad and crunchy hot spring rolls. The star of this set features a Hairy Crab Kaisen Don that is filled to the brim with glistening ikura and fragrant uni. Accompaniments include a fresh trio of sashimi and miso soup.
Need a power lunch that will fuel and satiate your taste buds? A must-try is the Ken’s Special Bento ($38), where the highlight features the prawn and vegetable tempuras, a sashimi line up of Tuna, Salmon, Seabream, and Octopus alongside assorted nigiri sushi, California roll, chawanmushi, and miso soup.
Unagi lovers on the other hand should not miss the Unagi Don ($28/half, $39/regular), which sees the fresh eel grilled and glazed with a special in-house sauce. Atop a bed of piping hot Japanese rice, the pairing will definitely delight your tastebuds
Other options include the Negitoro Uni Ikura Don ($78) with premium treasures of the sea such as bursting salmon roe, soft and silky minced tuna belly, a dollop of sea urchin, and crunchy chopped leeks provide an additional texture to the don.
Under award-winning Head Chef Ryo Endo, who has trained and honed his skills for 10 years in Miyajima and Hiroshima, Ken Japanese Restaurant doles out kaiseki-style seasonal omakase too.
A traditional Japanese haute multi-course experience whose origin goes back centuries ago, choose from a six-course Lunch Omakase ($88) or nine-course Special Lunch Omakase ($168). All patrons are advised to book their reservations one week in advance via Chope so book early to not miss out!
