Ordered a ground wagyu beef and onion croquette, kobe beef mini steak and a bottle of Arima cider soda. Inside is a small dining area to eat which is nice as it was crowded outside. The Arima cider was quite fizzy with a hint of sweetness which tasted like the ramune drink. The wagyu croquette was crispy with a nice beefy flavor and some sweetness from the onions; pretty tasty. The grilled kobe beef steak was seasoned with a bit of salt and cut into three pieces. There was not much marbling and the beef required some chewing; not bad if you prefer leaner cuts but not worth the price. Recommend coming here for...

I stopped by this place out of boredom while waiting for lunch, and it turned out to be a great find. My wife and I decided to share one original croquette, and the moment we finished it, we immediately went back for another.

Last day in Arima Onsen and I had to get more kobe beef, went by this store a few times but was too full to want to order. On my last day I just had to try. Got 2 servings of their No.5 kobe beef and one no.2 wagyu beef croquette. It was damn good the taste. Well cooked and made. I hope I can come back again for this....
