Introduction to Crab Crab Sannomiya

The culinary landscape of Kobe will soon welcome back 'Crab Crab Sannomiya,' a French ramen specialist, which will officially reopen its doors on March 25, 2026. After a closure lasting almost two years, this location will now operate under the umbrella of Petit En, in collaboration with Happiest Co. and 01 Noodle Japan, promising a refreshing twist for ramen enthusiasts.

A Unique Fusion of French and Japanese Cuisine

'Crab Crab' is not just another ramen shop; it expertly combines the elegance of French cooking techniques with traditional ramen foundations. The signature broth, a complex and flavorful creation, begins with roasting crab shells alongside aromatic vegetables to extract every bit of savory essence. The dish is artistically finished with 'espuma,' a French foam technique that makes for a unique mouthfeel, combining both richness and lightness. The special flat noodles are crafted to catch every drop of the luxurious soup, complemented by tender crab meat, sous-vide cooked chashu, and a unique crab miso butter blend.

The Exciting New Chapter

After its first chapter concluded in May 2024, Crab Crab Sannomiya is set to embark on its second chapter with the new opening. The highlight on the menu will be the newly introduced 'Red Snow Crab Dantanmen' (¥1,300 onwards). This dish features the traditional dantanmen base elevated with rich sesame sauce, chili oil, and two types of red chili, skillfully whipped to achieve a smooth texture paired with a spicy kick. Guests can choose their spice level from mild to extra hot, ensuring that everyone can find their perfect bowl.

In addition, the shop will enhance its previous No. 1 selling dish, the 'Special Red Snow Crab Truffle' (¥1,600), which is now served in bespoke Arita pottery. This dish presents a beautiful palette of flavors and textures, transitioning from various ingredients beautifully arranged on the pottery rim, each bite revealing the complexity of taste, aroma, and crunch.

Other Specialties

The menu will also feature:

• - Red Snow Crab Noodle (¥980): This flagship dish offers a direct experience of the crab's umami, making it a perfect choice for first-time visitors.
• - Crab Rice Set (additional ¥250 with any ramen): Rice cooked with crab broth, allowing diners to enjoy it in a risotto style with ramen broth poured over.
