    Hyougo Pref. Koubeshi Chuou-ku Shimoyamatedori 2-1-17 Maurya Building
    This well-established steak house that is located a three-minute walk from Sannomiya was founded in 1885. Ever since then they have been particular about the quality of their meat, and they also have good quality, thoroughly marbled Kobe beef on hand. The soft steak that has a texture which almost seems to melt in one's mouth is an exquisite masterpiece that allows the diner to thoroughly enjoy the umami flavor of the premium meat. The lunch options that allow guests to enjoy Kobe beef and other carefully selected beef at reasonable prices are popular. With its classy yet relaxed atmosphere, many patrons use this restaurant for anniversaries or special occasions.

    I know there are several steak restuarants in Kobe and it might be worth trying something different but this place was amazing. The chef put on quite the show and knew exactly what we wanted. All...

    Hyogo Kobe-shi Chuo-ku Ikutacho 4-6-15
    "This bakery and cafe is located in the Ikuta-cho, Chuo-ku, Kobe City. It was founded in 1924 by a German husband and Japanese wife team who popularized German bread in Japan, and were also the inspiration for the NHK serial television drama ""Kazamidori."" The bakery continues to bake not only German bread in a brick oven, but also cookies, pound cakes and other baked sweets, while the adjacent cafe serves sandwiches made with freshly baked bread, coffee and sweets."

    While the food is good and the atmosphere pleasent, its not anything /too/ unusual or impressive. The church is great for the aesthetics, the cakes and sandwiches are wonderfully presented, but its...

    This is a buta-manju (steamed pork bun) specialist shop established in 1915 in Kobe’s Nankinmachi Chinatown. It is known as the originator of the “buta-manju” and “buta-man,” created when the founders brought the Chinese “tenshin-pozu” to Japan and adapted for Japanese tastes. Fluffy dough overflowing with meat juices, the bun is a Nankinmachi Chinatown favorite with consistent queues to get one. Aside from takeout, there is also an eat-in space available. The nearest station is Motomachi Station.

    Soft, flaky pastry around a very salty pork. I wish I could eat these every meal. Or at least every football game drinking beer.

    アルバイトスタッフの出入りが激しい。まともなスタッフ教育もしない状態で客を選ぶ社員がおり挨拶もしない。総じてアルバイト、社員に限らずスタッフによって接客レベルや商品知識の差があり食べ終わっても、ずっと話し込んでいるマナーの悪い客にも注意もしないので混雑する時間帯は長時間待たされる覚悟が必要。そういう不当な扱いを受けることもあって利用を控えるようになりました。
