    Excellent kobe beef experience. Friendly chef, attentive waiters, and kobe beef. What more can you ask for? Just sit back, eat, and let the beef melt in your mouth while you ponder about your health.

    Chef Mitsuda is highly recommended. It was a very enjoyable experience. Speaks good english and knowledgeable in explaining the various cuts and ways to cook it. Very quiet and secluded. None of the over marketed YouTube shops. I highly recommend this place. We came in with 12 pax.

    Located on 2nd floor. Good quality of Kobe Beef, great service. We reserved via Google, but arrived early before reservation time and staff could find the table for us. Tasty and good quality but quite expensive.

    Juicy and tasty wagyu beef. Lunch set includes salad, rice and miso soup. Award winning Kobe Waygu steaks. Lunch time on a Monday wasn't crowded and we had an enjoyable lunch here.

    Prices were definitely steeper than the other Kobe beef spots that foreigners would usually visit but boy oh boy was this meal worth every penny! Opted for the more premium selections and it was truly my favourite meal of my Japan trip. Meat was cooked perfectly to medium rare and it went soooo well with the freshly grated wasabi. The rice, soup and vegetables were of such good quality as well. My friends and I definitely had the best time here.

    We went past 2pm. Thankfully there were seats and we didn’t reserve. Staff were attentive and helped us navigate the menu. The chef was friendly and guided how to start off with eating. The beef was incredible. It was a wholesome experience! Highly recommend

    The chef is knowledgeable and made it an enjoyable experience. The beef is simply delicious. We went with the more expensive cuts, but they also had more affordable options. Would recommend having lunch/dinner here!

    The cost was high, but if you want a high quality meat with a great show and friendly chef this is the place to be! I had a great experience and I dined alone. My chef, Shuhei is super talented and would recommend requesting him if you can!

    Had an amazing experience here. Good beef which blew my mind. Chef was very attentive and conscientious, explaining at every step of the way despite the language barrier. Highly recommend for any tourists who are coming here to try Kobe beef!

    Had a great evening of delicious and well marbled Kobe beef. Many restaurants in the area but we were well greeted and welcomed by Chef Yoshida, who gave us a wonderful evening with his hospitality and demonstration of skills. He also made good recommendations about beef and sake , and has a great sense of humour! We left Kobe that evening with lovely memories!

    We had an excellent meal! The staff was helpful in choosing a nice combination of beef for us to have. The salad, miso soup and vegetables were all tasty, and the Kobe Beef was exceptional! Thank you so much for this experience.

    Made a last minute booking the night before and was at this restaurant tonight and I must say we left so satisfied. Food was amazing. The Beef was melt in your mouth good and cooked to perfection. The chef was great and made sure everything was cooked to perfection and made when we were ready for it. Beef was even portioned so that you can savour a bit each time and was only finished on the grill when you were ready for it so it was served fresh and hot. Service was top notch and chef was great. Definitely recommend this place.

    Tried the sirloin 120 g + set + assorted wagyu sushi. I was very satisfied with this amount/combination of this food. Loved it all! Worth it! Make sure to make reservations, call the number listed on the site. We had no issue communicating in English. We reserved the day of. Great presentation as well, there was a lot of skill and carefulness put into the food.

  • 5/5 Junkyu L. 11 months ago on Google
    Literally the best beef that I've ever had for my entire life! The beef I had was unbelievably great, the Chef Mitsuda was friendly and kind. He even placed his awards in front of the beef when I asked whether I can take pictures. I had a great conversation with him regarding the difference between Hida beef and Kobe beef!

  • 5/5 Harry S. 10 months ago on Google
    Quiet fine dinning as only one Cheff “Duck san” as he liked to be called. Great beef steak as recommended. Nice cold saki and beer. Perfect host. Will go again.

  • 5/5 Lambo 11 months ago on Google
    The Kobe beef I had here was the best beef I’ve ever had! It was super tender and had a strong beef flavor without being overwhelmingly fatty, I got the Prime Kobe Sirloin. Chef Daiki was also very kind and fun to talk to. The inside of the store is stylish as well. I highly recommend this place if you get a chance to come to Kobe.

  • 5/5 Dalyna Q. 11 months ago on Google
    Stumbled on this spot after missing a different reservation and so glad we did! We ordered 4 different options of Kobe beef and all were juicy and tender. The premium option was especially tasty. Although not needed, the miso paste, wasabi, and salt was the perfect addition to the veggies and meat. The experience was intimate as we got to interact with the chef who also spoke English. Would definitely recommend anyone to eat here!!

Ours group have 7 peoples we enjoy the meal and the conversation, this is a pleasant dinner we give this restaurant 5 stars and highly recommended for any visitors who come to Kobe .

  • 5/5 Briac L. 5 years ago on Google
    The place is really fancy with an old Japanese chef cooking in front of you. Lunch is from 2500 yen for 80g of Kobe beef (which is enough for a tasting) and you will go out of this place with a large smile and a satisfied belly!

  • 5/5 P D. 4 years ago on Google
    Came for the food. Will forever remember the experience. The food was to die for but what really topped it off for us was the whole atmosphere and the service we got from the gentlemen working. One of the only establishments we visited on this trip where they genuinely seemed interested (everywhere else was still great) and even recommended places to visit around Kobe! 100% would recommend and definitely will come back on our next trip!

  • 5/5 John D. 5 years ago on Google
    Oh my... This was one of the best restaurant experiences we’ve ever had. The beef was divine and the staff was very nice. What made our day though was chef Ina. Such hospitality, kindness and professionalism is not easy to find. We loved every second of our dinner. Note that there are two restaurants at the address, both part of the same establishment, on 1st and 2nd floor. The Teppanyaki restaurant is on 2nd floor.

    You can have a really great experience tasting Kobe Beef with the staff of this restaurant! Very nice place to stay and a lot side dishes. Try to visit at lunch time, if possible.

  • 5/5 Ian L. 5 years ago on Google
    reasonable price, awesome Kobe beef, very good service

  • 5/5 Rudy P. 4 years ago on Google
    After strolling looking and rejected by 2 restorants, we end up to this restorant. Suprisingly we got very good service from the cook..and passionely he explained on how to enjoy Kobe beef with all condiments. Pricing wise is not cheap but you got some experience not only eating meat. Bravo !!!

    Fantastic service and delicious Kobe Beef!! Definitely recommended if you’re visiting Kobe in Japan.

  • 5/5 Justine 4 years ago on Google
    So delicious. Beautiful restaurant. Friendly staff. You definitely get what you pay for. A must for Kobe tourists!

  • 5/5 Roberto 4 years ago on Google
    Incredible experience. [Eng] They prepare Kobe beef right in front of your eyes. It's a little bit expensive, because of kobe beef price, but it's totally worth it. Nevertheless, you'll be able to choose the type of beef you want to eat, giving you the chance to live this great experience for as little as 2500¥. Even if you choose to have 80g of meat, you don't have to worry: they'll offer you many other dishes, such as rice, soup, salad etc. (included in price). The staff is really kind and they'll suggest you how to eat everything, in order to taste it at its best. THEY UNDERSTAND AND SPEAK ENGLISH. Completely satisfied! [It] Preparano la carne di Kobe davanti ai vostri occhi. È leggermente costoso, per via del prezzo della carne di Kobe, ma ne vale totalmente la pena. Nonostante questo, potrete scegliere il tipo di carne che preferite, dandovi la possibilità di vivere questa fantastica esperienza a partire da soli 2500¥. Anche se sceglierete di consumare solo 80g di carne, non avete di cui preoccuparvi: compresi nel prezzo vi sono molti altri piatti, come riso, zuppa, insalata ecc. Lo staff è estremamente cortese (e, a mio avviso, simpatico) e vi guiderà passo passo nel mangiare il tutto, in modo da gustarlo al meglio. CAPISCONO E PARLANO INGLESE. Totalmente soddisfatto! Arrivederci ;D

    At this restaurant you are not only paying for the product and services, you pay for the experience. Chef Ina and his team 10/10. The experience was to see how the beef is prepared and handled. They help with ordering and recommended garnishing for the Kobe beef. The beef is order in grams from 80-180*, however is served roughly 40grams at one time. This was so the beef served to you wouldn’t go cold and that you could savour the flavours without having to rush. Lunch set was great. Came with rice, Kobe beef soup, pickled vegetables and tepanyaki Vegetable. I highly recommend getting their Kobe beef sushi!

  • 5/5 Yan 1 year ago on Google
    Restaurant with an unassuming facade that is easy to walk by, but don't give it a miss! Amazing service and experience. The beef was delicious and well cooked, worth the spend! Chef also speaks English very well, so it was easy to communicate and chat.

    Best. Beef. Ever! One-to-one personalised time with the chef. He rejected all the other customers just to chat and eat with us. Very personable chef & good food! ♥️

  • 5/5 Ben W. 11 months ago on Google
    One of the best meals I’ve ever had! The chef D. Mitsuda was amazing! He was so hospitable and kind! The Kobe beef was unbelievable and melted in my mouth. It was everything I hoped it would be and more. Thank you so much and I will be back again for sure! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone.

  • 5/5 Robert Anthony P. 1 year ago on Google
    Best Place, not a lot to say, definitely worth the visit. The staff is amazing, they speak good English and they are really kind. The meat is absolutely amazing, if you come i sugest to take the local meat (not the export one) and even if is a bit more expensive it really worth the money you spend

  • 5/5 Quentin “Henri” G. 11 months ago on Google
    We had our own chef, which seems to be the standard in the Kobe beef experience. Very friendly and spoke very good English! We followed his recommendation after our initial choice and were delighted we did. The meat was amazing! Thank you

👍 It is a long-established Sapporo beer hall in Kobe. It collapsed during the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, but is now operating in a new building. The fried chicken is very delicious and famous. It's the perfect place to have a beer and talk with your friends.
