まえなか — Restaurant in Kobe

While many places focus on sleek, modern aesthetics, I stumbled upon a quaint and charming little spot in Arima that truly warmed my heart. I was surprised to find we were the only table there for over an hour — it definitely deserves more love.

For just 1,000 yen, you can get a satisfying meal: a comforting bowl of warm udon or refreshing cold soba noodles, plus some fresh sushi - 5 pieces. Even better, they have Asahi on tap — a rare treat at a place this cozy and affordable.

What made the experience even more special was the all-ladies staff. They were so kind and attentive — I genuinely wished I could tip them! Please consider supporting small local businesses like this one. It’s these hidden gems that truly make travel memorable. I hope this review helps others discover this...

The set for 920 yen includes soba or using Noddles and a choice of 10 dishes, we choose sushi. We also ordered the sashimi which was quite good too! Sake bottle or carafe was 500 ye and big bottle beer was 800 yen!

This restaurant definitely reminds you of the old Japanese movie you watched on TV.

The people here are very nice and food here is simple yet tasty.

Most of the items are set meal costs ¥1000 which is so affordable.

It's definitely a good spot to fill your hungry tummy when you get off from the Arima...
