Indulge in Seasonal Delights with Steamed Shanghai Crab
As the autumn season unfolds, the Regal Royal Hotel Tokyo presents a gourmet experience that showcases one of the most beloved delicacies of this time — steamed Shanghai crab. Acclaimed for its rich flavor and tender texture, this dish is sure to tantalize the taste buds of any seafood lover.
Conveniently located in Shinjuku, the Regal Royal Hotel's acclaimed Chinese restaurant, 皇家龍鳳 (Royal Dragon Phoenix), serves this exquisite dish throughout November, from the 1st to the 30th, inviting guests to savor the unique flavors that only seasonal ingredients can provide.
The preparation of steamed Shanghai crab employs time-honored techniques that highlight the natural sweetness and essence of the crab. Freshly sourced, the crabs are carefully steamed, allowing their flavors to truly shine. Paired with traditional Shaoxing wine during the steaming process, the crab’s tender meat becomes juicier, while the rich, buttery crab roe delivers an unforgettable taste sensation.
To further enhance the dining experience, the dish is accompanied by a subtle dipping sauce made with a delicate vinegar and finely julienned ginger. This adds a refreshing tang that balances perfectly with the sumptuous crab, ensuring that each bite is an adventure of textures and flavors.
