Ikanimo em Shinjuku & Ikebukuro - Especialidade em Caranguejo

We booked a pufferfish and crab set meal for dinner, and both the taste and service were excellent. We'd love to go again. We got lost and took a big detour before finding the restaurant, as it's located behind another establishment. A staff member from the other shop kindly guided us to the entrance. The seating was interesting; the doors to the private rooms were quite low, with windows above them allowing staff to monitor our dining progress. Both the fried and grilled pufferfish were delicious, with a wonderfully springy texture. We also ordered pufferfish sashimi, which wasn't included in the set, and the small plate was a nice try. For crab, we had snow crab and king crab, and the portions were generous. The sashimi was quite fresh, and the snow crab in the hot pot was even sweeter. When we were already full, the staff began to prepare porridge from the hot pot broth! We initially thought we'd just try a little, but the light and delicate flavor of the porridge with egg made us unable to stop, and we ate it all! The staff were very friendly; they saw us taking photos with our small gashapon toys and laughed along with us, which was very fun. High marks for service.

I felt the overall experience was a bit ordinary... a little disappointing. The congee in the meal was just cooked with the hot pot water, so there wasn't much crab flavor. We were seated in a somewhat corner spot, and the people next to us were very noisy. After finishing one dish, we didn't see any waitstaff for a long time, so we couldn't ask them to serve the next course... In the end, it took a very long time to finish the meal, but most of that time was spent waiting for food. However, we did feel quite full.

Very nice food, and atmosphere, and close to shopping district. We spent our new years eve dinner at the restaurant.

It's perfect for a family meal! Both the taste and service are excellent! The crabs are very fresh, and the staff are very enthusiastic, making the whole meal very comfortable!

The food is fresh and delicious, and the staff are professional and friendly.

We chose the crab and fugu set meal. The fugu was delicious, but the crab quality was only average, lacking freshness. Even the final rice porridge was just mediocre. The service was a bit disappointing; the staff actually told us to grill the fugu ourselves. In the end, we had to ask them for help.

The food was excellent, and the service was good, but the tables and dining area were a bit small. The restaurant's name isn't 'Crab Blossom,' so it was a waste of time and effort to find it.

Awesome, you must come and eat if you get the chance. The fugu (pufferfish) is truly special to eat, and the multiple ways of preparing it are very satisfying! It's great, and although the location is a bit hard to find, Google Maps helps.

The crab was incredibly fresh and sweet, allowing us to try various cooking methods all at once: sashimi, grilled, fried, hot pot, and finally, the zosui. It was extremely satisfying.

The ingredients are incredibly fresh, the fried dishes are expertly prepared, and the private dining environment makes for a delightful experience.
