鉄板焼 十河

My wife and I booked this restaurant from Australia as a special Kobe beef experience whilst we were staying in the City of Kobe. Located just north of Shin-Kobe Station it’s both convenient and relatively easy to find (use Google Maps). It seems that Sogo previously held a Michelin star which shou...ld give you great comfort that you’re in for a treat. Like a number of Japanese restaurants, Sogo is not at street level but down one floor below ground so you don’t come here for a spectacular view. What you do get, however, is a true teppanyaki experience and spectacular food. The restaurant has 10 seats surrounding the teppan. The chef is welcoming and friendly and has better than usual English. The two wait staff were super efficient but their limited English made things a little more challenging but not to the point that it spoiled the experience. We started with a range of tasty appetizers and two glasses of nice red wine, though the wine list is limited. As with most good teppanyaki restaurants, the cooking of the food is an important part of the show and the Chef at Sogo certainly doesn’t disappoint. His mastery of his craft is worth paying to see. As always, the hero here is the Kobe wagyu beef. We have had good teppanyaki here in Japan before, but the beef at Sogo was on another level. It sounds like a cliche I know but it literally dissolves in your mouth. The Chef also recommended a number of things to accompany the steak including mustard, garlic chips (which were fabulous themselves) and mushroom salt, all of which made an amazing bite even better. The decor of the restaurant is typically understated but very pleasant and certainly created the right mood. We decided to come for lunch rather than dinner. You will find in most cases you get the same food and service but at a far lower cost - something to consider if you can make it work. Overall, we couldn’t fault the food or the experience. At about 25,000 yen it’s not cheap but, for a treat, I would say it’s worth every single one of them.

Before leaving Kobe, we visited a hidden gem restaurant in a basement, the entrance barely visible from the street. We were served a fixed lunch menu with tasters of tenderloin and sirloin beef of A5 quality. The service and the preparation, combined with the tasting suggestions by the chef made thi...s an unforgettable experience. The flavours of the beef combined with the different types of salt and the accompanying dishes were of absolutely beautiful quality.
