Wagyu and Kobe Beef.

A restaurant specialising in wagyu and Kobe beef — steaks and hamburger steaks.

“Wagyu” is the name of a breed.

Japanese Black, Japanese Brown, Japanese Shorthorn and Japanese Polled — only these four breeds and their crosses may be called wagyu. It is a different term from “domestic beef”, which simply means cattle raised in Japan. Tajima beef and Kobe Beef are Japanese Black.

Kobe Beef is selected from Tajima beef.

Bred only from Tajima bloodlines within Hyogo Prefecture, raised by designated farmers in Hyogo, and processed at a designated meat centre in Hyogo. Only carcasses that then meet the marbling and weight standards become Kobe Beef. About 7,500 head a year are certified as Tajima beef, of which about 7,000 become Kobe Beef — under 0.2% of all beef distributed in Japan.

Each certified carcass is stamped in four places and issued its own certificate of authenticity. That stamp is what you can see in the photograph.

Fine marbling is in the Tajima constitution.

Tajima cattle have fine muscle fibres, and the marbling follows suit. They are raised for 30 to 32 months — two to four months longer than ordinary Japanese Black. A carcass may not exceed 499.9 kg: grow it any larger and the fineness that makes Tajima beef what it is begins to disappear.

Grilled on iron, served as it is.

Grilled on an iron plate and brought to the table still hot. Teppan dishes come with rice or a baguette.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went for a reserved dinner meal with the family a few days ago, and I was impressed by the atmosphere of the restaurant. The ambiance was nice, with comfy seats and a nice view of the zen garden. We were directly seated, and served drinks. The service there is amazing, and efficient. I have to be honest though, the menu didn’t have a very large variety of meals: there were only 3 different set-menus. Either way, they were all delicious. The most memorable part of our meal was when they served us raw meat. The waiter explained to us that we were supposed to cook the meat ourselves on a conveniently placed grill! This was a fun surprise, as we were able to use this moment to bond together as a family. My favorite cut of meat was the diced sirloin, a piece everyone should try. The end of the meal opened the doors to a variety of desserts, all of which were delicious. 2 quick notes before entering the restaurant:

1. Make sure you take enough time from your schedule to make room for the meal because it took us around 2 hours to finish off.

2. Be prepared to take off your shoes upon entering the restaurant.

Overall, I give the restaurant a well-earned 4.8

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We found this place after the ninja tour, as it was near one of the shrines we visited before. We didn't see the entire shrine so we went back after the ninja tour and ate here first. It is underground and we were the only customers during lunch. It is yakiniku so we grilled the meat ourselves and everything was great!

 Verified Excellent experience!
Great location! We stopped here after shopping the markets and the mall. The food and service are terrific! Atmosphere is really nice for couples but friendly enough for family dining. Had the Wagu beef and Kobe beef hamburger steak specials. Great prices for a very tasty meal. Everything was cooked to perfection and meat full of flavor, melting in mouth as expected. Definitely recommend for a great, hearty, flavorful meal after a full day of shopping! But do save room for dessert, too!

 Verified Kobe Beef Dinner with Family
I took the family to this restaurant and, admittedly, I was a bit skeptical at first. From an American point of view, the place itself seemed quite unassuming—it’s located on the top floor of a shopping mall and has a very simple, no-frills layout. But that initial impression quickly changed once the food arrived. I ordered two 180g Kobe sirloin steaks—about 6 ounces each—and they were outstanding. Incredibly tender, buttery, and rich, the kind of steak that practically melts in your mouth. The food presentation was excellent, and the steaks were served on a sizzling cast-iron plate. That black disk that resembles a hockey puck is actually a heated stone, which allows you to re-sear your steak to your preferred level of doneness. It’s a nice touch. Personally, I would have liked a bit more seasoning—specifically salt—but salt was provided at the table. Given that many people today are salt-sensitive, I understand why the restaurant takes a more neutral approach to seasoning. My son and I also ordered the corn soup, which was creamy, flavorful, and served piping hot. The accompanying baguette was crusty on the outside and came with butter. It’s a great option if you’re not in the mood for rice, which isn’t pictured here but was also available.
