The best restaurant to experience the premium authentic Kobe Beef with Halal certification. Dining here is an actual culinary experience as you taste the most premium Wagyu Beef of Japan, prepared in front of you and served personally by the Chef. The overall atmosphere is very calm. The prices are ...extremely high because of the quality of beef. The staff are amazing, they were extremely kind to accommodate us without reservations but it was possible since it was a weeknight and an early hour for dinner. They have a wide variety of set course menus for dinner. They have proper halal certification and the meat was brought out on a plate with a Halal Marking. They also use separate cooking tools and ingredients for Halal meat. The beef steak was prepared right at our seat and the chef made sure that it was grilled to our desired level. The restaurant is situated at a 10 minute walk from Sannomiya station. The restaurant is slightly difficult to locate as it is inside an unmarked building and a few blocks away from the main commercial street and their signage is mostly in Japanese. The Lunch menu has more affordable options and even for dinner you can try Ala Carte instead of the highly expensive three course meals. Would highly recommend this restaurant for trying authentic certified Kobe beef in Kobe.

There are lots of places to offer Kobe beef and we were worried about choosing a dud but we definitely didn’t with here. We had James as our chef and he was greats his English brilliant and also taught us some Japanese phrases. The food was delicious snd cooked to perfection. We opted for the si...rloin and beef loin to try the difference. We had the 3 types of Hassun, egg custard, roasted vegetables, rice, miso soup, green tea and desert. We were so full and so glad we visited here.

We had a great dinner experience here. We visited this restaurant for Dinner in April during our cruise. We really enjoyed the Kobe beef - it was truly a special experiance, both in terms of flavor and the overall athmosphere. The menu was very diverse, and our personal chef guided us perfectly thro...ugh the evening. We spent quite some time deciding which menu to choose and eventually all opted for the Kobe beef. None of us regretted that decision! Of course, it's not exactly cheap, but when else do you get such an opportunity? A huge thank to the staff at this restaurant who made the envening truly unforgettable.
