The seasonal promotion features a selection of dishes crafted from tasty, tender king crab, as part of a happy hour with unlimited servings of your favorite beverage or in a series of a la carte options.

For appetizers, The Timber House serves king crab salad, a fresh green salad topped with king crab meat; and yaki gyoza, dumplings stuffed with king crab meat and vegetables and moulded into the shape of a crab. King crab ramen, served in a refreshing miso broth infused with gochujang chili paste and grilled king crab shell, is the perfect companion to king crab rice balls - king crab meat and vegetables rolled into rice balls and seasoned with tasty katsuobushi flakes. The meal ends with a dessert of Cognac jelly, made with blue liquor to evoke the sea and topped with white chocolate powder. The Happy hour menu is available with unlimited servings of The Timber House’s signature sake, white wine, red wine or Suntory Premium Malt’s draft beer, offering the perfect pairing option for every palate.
