Tsuya — Restaurant in Kobe

During my recent visit to Kobe, I had the pleasure of dining on Kobe beef at a renowned local restaurant. The experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Kobe beef is famed for its marbling, and this characteristic was evident as the steak arrived, glistening with a delicate, web-like pattern of fat.

Upon the first bite, the beef practically melted in my mouth, delivering a rich, buttery flavor that was both savory and subtly sweet. The texture was incredibly tender, almost creamy, making it a unique and indulgent treat. Cooked to perfection by skilled chefs, each piece was seared on the outside while maintaining a succulent, juicy interior. The accompanying sides, including lightly seasoned vegetables and a robust red wine sauce, complemented the beef without overpowering its natural flavors.

Overall, dining on Kobe beef was an exquisite culinary experience, highlighting the meticulous care and tradition behind this prized delicacy. It’s a must-try for any meat lover...

Let's be fair to the owner and the restaurant. The food (especially the Kobe beef) was amazing. But there are other restaurants within walking distance from this place that also offers Kobe beef so maybe this is not worth the price tag. We ordered 1 x 150g of Chateaubriand steak (15000¥ a piece) and a mixture of Wagyu (1300¥). Very well cooked and the accompanying sauce was also delicious. I saw a few google reviews that mentioned about the problem of pricing from other people and I have to say "if you guys order lobsters or fish from Chinese restaurants, they don't normally include the prices on the menu. Those items will be listed as market price". One way to improve the service is a bit of clarity from the owner and the customers need to make sure you get what you pay for. When we visited this place it was a late Sunday night so there were very few customers on this street. We were the only 2 customers inside...

I was there a few days ago with a friend and got a nasty surprise. Although we spoke clear Japanese, the owner behaved as if he didn't understand a word. He reacted in an unfriendly and annoyed manner - quite a typical for Japan. So far we have never had any problems with communication in other places and we have always spoken strictly Japanese. Here, people just don't seem to have any desire for "gaijins". The okonomiyaki we had was the worst I've ever had and we eat a lot of okonomiyaki. The batter was underdone, no sauce, no mayonnaise, no katsuoboshi and no aonori... Too bad, because the typical izakaya flair of the restaurant would have...
