Kobe Beef

We traveled to Kobe with our friend Matt. One of my main goals while there was to eat the famous Kobe Beef. So after getting off our train we ambled around looking for a place to eat it. We had a place in mind, but weren't really sure where it was. We happened to find it, and when I opened the big wooden door to enter the restaurant I was greeted by a server in a suit. The atmosphere was dark. Classiness as well as delicious smells wafted out of the entryway. We had to wait 10 minutes to get a table, but it was well worth it.
Here's our chef making steak!


They sell wine and wooden boxes filled with meat! The cow on the front is their logo. It's divided up into cuts of meat.

Our "Special Lunch Set A" came with an appetizer of salmon and nama ham on lettuce and sweet onions, a salad, coffee, a tiny cup filled with some amazing potato soup, 150 grams of kobe beef on a stone plate along with grilled onions, mushrooms, fries, broccoli, and a carrot. It was so amazingly good. You barely had to chew the steak - that's how tender and juicy it was. It was seared on the outside and pink in the middle. Then, my lil steak was finished off with some hennesay and lit on fire to give it some flavor and class as it was presented to me at the table. Incredible!
They provided us with paper aprons to keep juices off our nice clothes - well in our case t-shirts weren't so nice. But I'm sure all of the other really fancy people there appreciated it. We just enjoyed it for its comedic value.
