Experience Autumn's Finest at RIHGA Royal Hotel Tokyo

As the seasons change and autumn sets in, food enthusiasts can treat themselves to a true gourmet delight at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Tokyo. From October 31 to November 30, 2026, the hotel’s acclaimed restaurant, Chinese Cuisine Royale Tianfeng, presents a special dish that celebrates one of the season's finest delicacies: the steamed Shanghai crab.

A Taste of Tradition

The Shanghai crab, known for its rich flavor and succulent texture, is meticulously prepared using traditional steaming techniques to highlight its natural essence. Chef Keisuke Soya, the General Manager of RIHGA Royal Hotel Tokyo, ensures that the dish not only captures the true taste of the crab but also embraces the culinary traditions of Chinese cuisine.

To enhance the flavor experience, each crab is steamed with Shaoxing wine, a well-known Chinese fermented beverage that brings out the crab's sweetness and amplifies its texture. The result is a plump crab meat that melts in your mouth, complemented by a creamy crab roe that adds depth to every bite.

Perfect Accompaniments

To ensure a balanced tasting experience, the dish comes with a side of delicate vinegar and thinly shredded ginger. These accompaniments provide a refreshing contrast, invigorating the palate and allowing diners to savor each morsel without feeling overwhelmed. It's a dish designed to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace, giving guests the opportunity to truly immerse themselves in the flavors of autumn.
