This is the best place in Kobe to get affordable Kobe beef at exceptional quality.
There is a rice set that allows you to get a serving of Kobe beef piled on top of rice, paired with yummy miso soup, steak sauce, salt, a sweet sauce and a salad. It's so amazingly delicious especially for it's price (~4000¥), and I liked how chewy the beef was. Furthermore the Kobe beef was cooked nicely and I really enjoyed my last meal in Japan.
The set also came with a small side that is a Kobe beef (torched to medium-rare I think) put on top of a spoonful of rice. Mouth-watering.
Be sure to reserve a seat days in advance. This place was so popular that restaurant was full when we first arrived. At first, we were caught off-guard by the need to book a reservation when the waitress asked us if we had one. I thought we would get turned away, but she instead told us to wait until 7pm, It was 6pm when we visited. Sure enough, we were seated at around 7. The commitment from the staff to serve my family was a quality I really appreciated, and especially in Japan.
This was our last restaurant in our trip to Japan because we wanted to eat some high-quality and sumptuous beef to end off our trip. Of all the restaurants that we were searching for, this was one of the affordable ones and they did not disappoint. Thank you waitress.
I could tell that the staff were quite stressed, as the waitress was constantly running around the place serving food and making payments. In fact, when we asked to be seated, she took a while to come to us because she had to tend to another customer. Of course, no hard feelings, she tried her best to give us good service as a solo worker.
When I come back to Osaka, guaranteed I will eat at this place again.
