Crab Croquettes with Crab Dashi Tomato Sauce

At Rei, each dish begins with a single idea: how to express the purest essence of an ingredient. Our Crab Croquettes are a tribute to that philosophy — a delicate balance of texture and umami drawn entirely from the crab itself. The croquettes combine sweet crab meat, miso, and cream, creating a velvety interior that melts with each bite. To deepen the flavor, we prepare a tomato-based sauce infused with crab dashi, layering oceanic richness beneath the gentle acidity of ripe tomato. The result is both nostalgic and refined — a modern interpretation of Japanese comfort food that embodies warmth, craftsmanship, and the quiet elegance that defines Rei.
