Kani Doraku Co., Ltd. will hold a special event at its restaurants nationwide on June 22, 'Crab Day,' to express gratitude for our customers' continued patronage.
■ Background: Why 'Crab Day' in Early Summer?
We established June 22 as 'Crab Day' out of a passion to challenge the established concept that 'crab is a winter delicacy' and to encourage customers to enjoy delicious crab throughout the year. As the day when the zodiac sign 'Cancer' begins, and also corresponding to the Japanese syllabary 'Ka' (6th) and 'Ni' (22nd), we believe this is a special day that should be celebrated with crab dishes. Now in its 36th year, this commemorative day has become an important tradition and a time when we connect most deeply with our customers.

We are preparing a 'speed lottery' for all customers who dine with us on the day, extending the lingering happiness of their dining experience.
