Description

Good to Know

"Take a seat at the counter and enjoy an exquisite meal of award-winning Japanese wagyu beef, made before your eyes by an expert chef."

Raised to extremely exacting standards, Kobe beef is known as some of the highest-quality beef worldwide — and there's no better place to eat it than in the place of its origin. Just a few minutes from Motomachi Station on the Sannomiya waterfront, and right in the middle of Kobe's nightlife center, En Steak House lets diners watch an expert chef prepare perfectly-marbled, high-quality wagyu beef and fresh lobster on a sizzling griddle. Of course, the chef's expertise cannot be understated, but neither can the sheer quality of En's Kobe beef. Even among the insanely high standards of Kobe beef, it's Nakanishi Ranch that especially stands out. For over 50 years, the original farm in Kobe (the family has a second operation in Miyazaki Prefecture) has become known for winning several awards for the quality of their beef, including from the Kobe Beef Marketing & Distribution Promotion Association — Japan's leading authority on this extremely luxurious wagyu. Every year, only 10% Tajima cattle will be sufficiently marbled to be considered true Kobe beef — but Nakanishi's average Kobe certification lies at a staggering 60%. Of course, such high-quality beef has to be matched by equally luxurious ingredients, and En is in no short supply. Seasonal vegetables come mainly from Takeuchi Farm in neighboring Akashi, while others come from Tsutsui Farm in northern Hokkaido, letting En's chefs offer a variety of vegetables all year round.

We visited this Kobe beef restaurant during our honeymoon in Japan, and it was truly one of the most memorable meals of our entire trip. Not only was the beef absolutely melt-in-your-mouth delicious, but the staff went above and beyond to make our experience special. They took pictures of us with their awarded Kobe beef, made us balloon animals, and printed out the picture for us to take home! Even with the language barrier, they made such a genuine effort to communicate with us—using gestures, ...read more

Great restaurant. The staff-san(s) were super friendly and attentive. My Japanese is so-so but we were easily able to communicate even have some light banters. The amount of food for the course was perfect and you get a good cross section of ingredients to enjoy. Highly recommend to visit. Will definitely plan to repeat if I'm in Kobe again!

It was an extremely pleasant lunch at En Steak house. Chef and waitress was quick with serving the food, and super attentive. We also ordered additional miso soup on top of our course meal, but they serve it to us for free! Beef was really good too! Definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to experience good Kobe beef teppanyaki. A little pricey, but definitely worth it.

This was a 5-star experience all around. We rarely splurge on meals like this, but En Steakhouse did not disappoint. The beef is sublime, and the awards on the countertop prove it. The teppanyaki experience was a lot of fun, watching your food get cooked by a master chef. Each side dish complemented the meal, and nothing overpowered the main attraction: Kobe wagyu steak. We especially appreciated the bonus desert in honour's of our 10th wedding anniversary. We had no issues when we arrived with...read more
