Grill Ippei



Kobe, being a port city, has long been an environment where foreign cultures have easily entered. As a result, there are many famous Western-style restaurants. One of the best restaurants is "Grill Ippei ". Because it is so close to the station, there is often a long line at lunchtime, but after waiting in line, the authentic Western food is so good that even that fatigue will be wiped away.

If it's your first time, start with the beef cutlet.



After all, the specialty menu item at "Grill Ippei "is the heleb beef cutlet. The thinly battered beef cutlet is perfectly cooked, and the meat inside is rare and has a wonderful pink cross-section.

Fairy Court



As prosperous as Nankinmachi is, Kobe is also famous for its Chinese food. Eating your way around in Nankinmachi is fine, but if you are looking for a place to indulge in authentic Chinese cuisine once in a while, we recommend the long-established Chinese restaurant Shinzenkaku, which has been in business for 80 years. After entering the restaurant with its stately exterior and passing through the court-like lobby, you will be taken to a private room with a luxurious atmosphere. You can dine around a round table, which is synonymous with Chinese restaurants. In addition, as this is an authentic Peking cuisine, you can enjoy dishes using luxurious ingredients such as "abalone "・ "shark's fin "・ "sea cucumber "which are representative of Peking cuisine.

Enjoy fine foods in a course!



If you are planning to enjoy a full-fledged course that includes many high-end ingredients, we recommend that you visit with at least four people. However, there are those who want to enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine in a casual setting. For such people, a lunch course is a good choice. However, many Chinese restaurants in Kobe serve more food than you can finish, perhaps because they have faithfully inherited the Chinese hospitality culture.
