Kobe is world-famous for Kobe beef, the exquisitely marbled wagyu from local Tajima cattle prized for its melting tenderness and rich flavour. The city’s celebrated teppanyaki steakhouses are the place to savour it at its best, with skilled chefs grilling the beef to perfection on a hot iron plate right before your eyes. An indulgent, theatrical and unforgettable dining experience, tasting authentic Kobe beef in the city that gave it its name is one of the essential culinary pilgrimages for any visitor to Kobe.
