Founded in 1946. Authentic Chinese restaurant Shin Sekai Saikan

Shin Sekai Saikan, founded in 1946, is located one-minute walk from Jimbocho. This is an established Chinese restaurant that lasts for three generations. You can enjoy as well as their specialty Shanghai grabs, carefully prepared authentic Chinese cuisine ever since it was founded.

At the age of 15, Fu Ho Jun came to Japan and opened Shin Sekai Saikan as a Chinese restaurant and sweet shop in the town. In 1973, he had the present Shin Sekai Bldg. built and ran the place in his own particular style with a mah-jong parlor on the basement floor in addition to a Chinese restaurant. Around 1978, he started to focus on Shanghai crabs and Shaoxing wine and expanded the shops from the basement to the third floor, which was the foundation of present Shin Sekai Saikan. Then the building was renovated and reopened in May 2025.

As for their specialty, Shanghai crabs, discerning professional buyers directly purchase the ones caught from Lake Sekikyu and Lake Ton Taiho just outside Shanghai at the market. Male crabs and female crabs have different flavor: male crabs have rich flavor in their roe and milt while female crabs have them in eggs. They have another specialty called "Drunk Crab", which has been handed down for three generations. They marinate crabs in Shaoxing wine and their secret sauce. There are other different kinds of dishes for you to fully enjoy the charms of crabs like "Simmered soup with Shanghai crabs" and "Fried rice with Shanghai roe thick sauce."

They are particular about their Shaoxing wine. The second owner visited a brewery in Shaoxing City in China and collaborated with it and produced Shaoxing wine. Their original "Shaoxing Daietsu Kishu" has a special feature that rare production method using only unprocessed sake of single era is used for this sake drink. Their tasting set is very popular. You can taste the difference of aged sake among 5 years, 8 years, 15 years and 30 years. You can enjoy special Shaoxing wine that you cannot have at other restaurants.
