“ Walked into this store blindly looking to get my hands on some sushi, ended up ordering a conger eel course (I realised they had an english menu after lol) Food was nothing to rave about but their customer oriented service was definitely one to remember. The old lady who was serving me was the sweetest person I have met so far on the trip, with her outpouring enthusiasm to share and explain every single dish to me even though i did not understood a single word. These series of interactions made the whole dining experience so much better. Thank you obaa-chan! ”

“ A small generational family run (Assumed, they look alike) restaurant that serves fresh sea eel and stone fish as their main selling point. Grandpa was both strict looking but friendly. Was willing to accept late customers like us. Order their signature stonefish sashimi and was not disappointed at all. Have yet to seen this fish being served as sashimi before in my travel. Situated in the middle of night life Kobe and close to the train station. Please do visit them if you have the chances. ”

“ A fantastic restaurant! We ordered the sushi special. Even the appetizers, like the steamed egg, were amazing. The seasoning was thoughtful and unique; the steamed egg was soft, tender, and incredibly delicious. The tempura—shrimp, fish, and vegetables—was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The nigiri sushi featured very fresh fish, and the mackerel was perfectly marinated. The most surprising dish was the white eel nigiri sushi—it melted in your mouth! If you ever visit Kobe, I highly recommend trying this place. An absolutely fantastic dining experience! We ordered the sushi set, and from the very first bite — the appetizers and the steamed egg custard — we were blown away. Every detail of the seasoning was thoughtful and full of character. The steamed egg was incredibly soft, silky, and packed with fresh flavor. The tempura — featuring shrimp, fish, and vegetables — was perfectly crispy on the outside while remaining juicy and tender inside. The nigiri sushi showcased exceptionally fresh fish; even the marinated mackerel was expertly prepared. The biggest surprise was the white eel nigiri — it simply melted in our mouths. If you're visiting Kobe, this is a must-try spot for true food lovers! ”

“ They've moved to Dongmen Street and are looking great! [Food Review] The food is worth the price! The owner beautifully prepares fresh fish. [Service Review] Perhaps it's a family-run business? The customer service is friendly. I'm amazed and respectful that the owner (the chef) is over 80 years old and has taken on a new challenge! I hope he stays healthy and keeps up the great work! [Atmosphere Review] Enjoy sake, delicious fish, and friendly service—a relaxing place to dine! *If you found this information helpful, please like and follow us! ”

“ The staff were so friendly that the ⭐︎1 star review seemed like the opinion of one person across multiple doujin accounts! The courses are easy to understand and there's also an a la carte option! It's a shame they don't have eel, but the steamed conger eel, fatty tuna, and egg were excellent. 24 ​​dishes, 2 soups, and 2 chawanmushi for two people cost 15,400 yen. ”

“ I suddenly had a craving for fugu and found this restaurant. They readily agreed when I called to say I was on my way. Yasu's sashimi is thicker than at other restaurants, so it's very satisfying. Before the fugu hotpot, we had shabu-shabu. It was my first time trying shabu-shabu, and it was surprisingly delicious. The shabu-shabu, served with a large kelp broth, was just the right thickness, and the texture and flavor were a completely different experience from the hotpot. The female waitress explained that in addition to the mouth, the navel and belly are also delicious parts of the fugu hotpot. Naturally, the hotpot was delicious. Fugu requires some preparation, but even though I showed up unexpectedly and was in a rush, they apologized, saying, "I'm sorry it took so long to serve you," which was humbling. The owner, who is 80 years old, is very knowledgeable and dexterous, and there are various artworks in the shop, such as tin cups and wall hangings... I enjoyed more than just the food. Next time, I'll definitely order shabu-shabu when I order fugu. ”

“ I wanted to eat scorpionfish, so I ordered the Wind Course (8,000 yen plus tax). I had the chef's son prepare an appetizer and waited for a while until the chef arrived. I thought it would only be scorpionfish sashimi, but it also had conger eel, turban shell, squid and tuna, so it was very filling. I was a little scared that he was still moving his face, but scorpionfish is delicious after all! The butter-fried fish was also quite large, so I was already full. The rice in the 10 special nigiri sushi was small, but I couldn't finish it, so I took the steamed conger eel and egg home and ate them for breakfast at the hotel the next day. The sushi itself wasn't as good as I expected. The scorpionfish miso soup was delicious. ”

“ The manufacturer entertained us! It was delicious! It was as delicious as the photo shows. There were three of us, so we sat oddly side-by-side, which didn't really fit the atmosphere... That was the only disappointing thing. I forgot to take a picture of the drinks. ”
