Highly recommend koujyu as the go to play for your Kobe beef experience!!
If you’re in Kobe for Kobe beef, an authentic experience, delicious and well prepared food and not to mention a life cooking view in front of you - then this is the place to go!
The whole team is so courteous, helpful and deliver an exemplary experience. Cooking skills are highly regarded amongst all the chefs and you can see the consistency in care for their ingredients in whichever member of the team to serve you. I’d like to mention in particular our chef Matsuoka, who, from the moment the elevator doors opened greeted us so warmly. We had no prior reservation but he was able to kindly fit us in and was our special chef. He toured us through easily from start to finish - from handling the meat, cooking the vegetables, frying up the beautiful steak with utmost consideration and recommending tasteful flavour combinations of trying the beef. It was definitely an experience but worth trying especially if you do like a good steak. Cost wise definitely expenny, I didn’t realise how much Kobe beef would be but how often are you in Kobe to experience that? Although you might leave with a wallet lighter, you’ll have your belly full, taste buds working over time and expectations met for an authentic experience.
I also loved my plum wine, delishhhh chefs kiss.
Thank you Matsuoka, you were an awesome host and anyone who gets to experience Kobe beef through you will be blessed! What a privilege to try such a delight under your skills.
