▎Ramen Name: Yaza and Set, Single Choice
On my last night in the Sannomiya area of Kobe, I capped off my four-night ramen supper with Kobe beef ramen.
Yaza and Honten are a yakiniku specialty restaurant. The same brand has a nearby ramen shop that uses Kobe beef as its signature dish. I went on a weekday, and the manager said only the Yaza and Set menus were available. So, I had to order them. The entire set was 1800 yen, making it the most expensive ramen meal I've had in Japan, but considering it was Kobe beef and a set menu, it wasn't that expensive.
First, two pieces of Kobe steak sushi arrived. Honestly, I couldn't tell the difference between an 80-point and a 90-point sushi. The steak was tender, juicy, and thick, while the rice was firm, fragrant, and springy. You could bite through both the steak and the rice simultaneously, without having to tear or pull the rice apart.
The main course, Kobe beef ramen, served in a salty beef bone broth, had a very strong beef flavor. Honestly, I'm not a big fan of beef-flavored broths (I've had beef-related ramen at Kaohsiung's original Huashan and Tainan's Lianhu, and they both felt a bit off).
The meat was supposed to be thinly sliced braised Kobe beef short ribs? Unfortunately, I don't speak Japanese and couldn't ask the owner. It was tender, flavorful, and not overly greasy.
Then came the Kobe Beef Bokkake (beef tendon stew?) and rice. The flavor was quite strong, but I finished it all with the rice. Conclusion:
The sushi appetizer was tender and tender.
The ramen main course had a rich beef flavor.
The beef tendon stew had a savory and fragrant flavor that went well with the rice.
Overall, the flavor was quite rich, and those with lighter tastes might find it cloying later. It wasn't overly salty, but the combination of wagyu fat, beef bone broth, and beef tendon stew was a bit overwhelming. While this bowl of ramen was almost double the price of my usual ramen, and although it wasn't to my personal taste, a bowl of Kobe Beef Ramen is a reasonable experience for ramen lovers visiting Kobe.

▎拉麵名稱：八坐和セット，單一選擇
在神戶三宮地區呆的最後一晚，就以神戶牛拉麵來畫下連續四晚拉麵宵夜的句點了。
八坐和本店是一家燒肉專賣店，同品牌在附近開了一家利用神戶牛當招牌的拉麵專賣店；我去的那晚是平日晚上，店長說只有八坐和套餐可以點，沒有其他選擇，就只好這樣吃了，整個套餐1800円，是我在日本吃過最貴的拉麵餐，但是考慮到它是神戶牛肉又是套餐，也不是那麼貴了。
先上來神戶牛排壽司兩貫，老實說我吃不出八十分跟九十分的差別，牛排軟嫩多汁有厚度，米飯緊實香Q有彈性，咬下去可以把牛排跟米飯同時切斷，不需要用力撕咬拉扯導致米飯散落。
主餐神戶牛拉麵是鹽味牛骨白湯，牛味非常的濃厚，老實說我並沒有那麼喜歡濃厚牛味湯頭（之前吃高雄初代花山跟台南漣戶跟牛相關的拉麵都覺得有點違和感）。
肉的部分應該是神戶牛的牛小排薄片滷製？可惜我不會日文無法向老闆詢問，軟嫩入味不會過於油膩。
隨後上來神戸牛ぼっかけ（牛筋煮？）跟白飯，口味較重我配白飯吃光剛好，結論：
前菜壽司肉質軟嫩
主餐拉麵牛味濃厚
牛筋煮鹹香下飯
整體來說口味較為厚實，對於口味較為清淡的顧客到後面可能會產生膩口感，不是太鹹，而是和牛油脂→牛骨濃湯→牛筋燉煮的連續重口combo會讓人有點吃不消，雖然這碗拉麵較平常吃的多了快一倍價位，雖然較不合我個人口味，但是拉麵迷來神戶遊，吃碗神戶牛拉麵也是很合理的體驗吧。
