The pork cutlet was super crispy—you could really hear that crunch when you bite into it! The meat was tender and juicy, and their sauce was the perfect match. Plus, you can get free refills on rice, which made the meal extra satisfying. The location is right inside the Okaido shopping street, so it's the perfect spot to recharge after shopping. Highly recommend!

It has a totally different vibe compared to the glitz of Roppongi in Tokyo.

As the only sake brewery on Shodoshima, this place is both a restaurant and a shop where you can try lots of different sake. Too bad I can't really handle my alcohol 😂

Kobe's port opened to the world early on, so many of the shops here have been around for ages—some for over a hundred years! With new stores mixed in, you really get a sense of history blending together. It's a fantastic shopping street to explore.

I figured I had to try the famous local Kobe beef while in Kobe. Just a little salt brings out the pure flavor—the meat was so tender, it practically melted in my mouth. Thanks to the staff's explanation, I learned I was actually eating Tajima beef from Hyogo Prefecture, which was also delicious.
