Crab Restaurant in Sapporo

Would someone recommend an all you can eat crab restaurant in Sapporo please, and how to get there from JR Tower Nikko.

Ideally with an all you can drink beer buffet as well.

Sorry for the intrusion to our Sapporo locals and not sure about all you can eat options:

In Susukino ( the entertainment district of Sapporo ) the Kani Shogun ( http://www.kani-ya.co.jp/ ). But as Sapporo is landlocked the freshest crab is to be had at Otaru a short train ride away. There are several excellent restaurants serving crab dishes at the Otaru Unga buildings along the canal.

Maybe the Sapporo Brewery restaurant does an all you can eat buffet?

As in many cases, Otaru is actually the older town of the two and used to have a bigger population for a long period before the pre-eminence of Sapporo. Darn I miss Hokkaido...

And a few words more on all you can eat: If you are familiar with the tabehoodai and nomihoodai offers at Izakaya, you also know that they wont exactly dish out their premium food or drinks. I might be wrong with this but I doubt there is a need for most restaurants in Hokkaido to offer crab dishes at a discount.

mosburger,
thanks for the pointers.

There was a place I went to last December where I had to take a lift to 10th floor I think. It was 3 kinds of crab: snow crab, long legs and huge long legs. Can't remember where it is but at ~4000 each, it was great.

Shame I lost the card.

Isn't anyone going to mention this?

Guy calls a restaurant and asks, Do you serve crabs?

Owner says, Sir we serve anyone.

Hey, I'm in town all year.
