Found this place that was able to sit our party of 12. Chef Mitsuda & staff were very friendly & courteous as soon as we walked in. As our dining experience progressed, Mitsuda-San made it very comfortable for us non-Japanese speaking individuals. Him and his staff were accommodating to our needs & very informative. When it came time for Chef to cook, he entertained us extremely well, that he even made our 7yr old son excited to watch & eat. I would highly recommend if you are ever in the area, cause I know we definitely would comeback next time we are at Kobe.
