Savor the Exquisite Flavors of Shanghai Crab at GINZA Shinfuen This Fall

Indulge in the Opulence of Shanghai Crab This Fall at GINZA Shinfuen

As autumn approaches, GINZA Shinfuen, a premier Chinese restaurant located in the MIYUKI Building in Ginza, is set to delight diners with its special 2026 Shanghai Crab menu. Renowned for its exquisite seasonal ingredients, the restaurant will offer a limited-time experience showcasing the celebrated Shanghai crab, a culinary jewel of the fall season, starting in October 2026.

This year, GINZA Shinfuen presents two unique dining courses featuring its signature dish, the 'Drunken Crab' (熟酔蟹), which is meticulously steamed and marinated in a special sauce. Guests can also enjoy an extravagant array of ala carte options that elegantly blend seasonal Japanese ingredients such as Yamagata beef, Matsutake mushrooms, and delicate shark fin.

Highlights of the 2026 Shanghai Crab Menu

1. Signature Dish: Drunken Crab (熟酔蟹)
GINZA Shinfuen's interpretation of 'Drunken Crab' involves a distinctive preparation method that enhances the natural sweetness of the crab. Unlike the traditional version that marinates raw crab in alcohol, this culinary masterpiece is first tenderly steamed, allowing the flavors to intensify before being submerged in a premium Shaoxing wine sauce. This meticulous process ensures that even those who typically avoid raw crab can indulge in this dish, as the richness of the crab meat and the refined flavors of wine and spices offer a symphonic experience when savored.

2. Fusion of Traditional Shanghai Techniques and Seasonal Japanese Delicacies
Dishes crafted by chefs trained in prestigious Michelin-starred restaurants highlight the synergy of Shanghai crab and premium ingredients, offering seasonal delights such as 'Whole Steamed Crab,' 'Yamagata Beef and Matsutake Mushroom Stir-fried in Oyster Sauce,' and 'Matsutake Chicken Soup.' These dishes celebrate the essence of autumn while retaining the authentic, luxurious flavors of high sea treasures like shark fin and abalone.

3. Sophisticated Dining Ambiance
The fresh layout of GINZA Shinfuen creates an elegant sanctuary suitable for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings up to 22 guests. The redesigned interior, adorned with black and gold accents, serves as a stylish backdrop to the culinary journey. Patrons can admire the sophisticated streets of Ginza as they sip on expertly selected wines and teas paired with their meal, making it an ideal venue for special business engagements and celebratory dinners.
