11 Best Kobe Beef Restaurants In Kobe

A visit to Kobe is incomplete without sinking your teeth in the world-famous Kobe beef. The meat comes from a breed of cattle known as Tajima. However, not every cow has its meat ending up in a steakhouse. Only authorized breeders based in Hyogo Prefecture get their cows out in the market. Besides, the meat must be of the highest grade. Kobe beef restaurants prepare the meat in front of your eyes. The process is like a scene from a TV cooking show. The chef cuts and seasons the meat before placing it on a hot grill. It cooks with a pleasing sizzling sound. Medium heat is required to retain the meat’s flavor. Kobe steakhouses feature a counter-style seating arrangement that allows you to see what the chef is doing. Try one of the Kobe beef restaurants in Kobe, listed below, and you will not be disappointed.
