Misono Kobe Main Store
Indulge in exquisite teppanyaki where it all began — at Misono, the legendary restaurant that created the cuisine in 1945.
Restaurant Details
Not many restaurants can claim to be the inventor of a new cooking genre, but Misono certainly can: it is the creator of teppanyaki, a form of Japanese dish cooked on an iron griddle.
Established in Kobe around the end of World War II in 1945, Misono was the brainchild of Fujioka Shigechi, who was managing an okonomiyaki restaurant at the time. Fujioka's stroke of genius came when he started grilling beef steaks using the iron pancake griddle for his patrons. The live cooking performance sparked fascination, propelling teppanyaki into the culinary limelight for its engaging spectacle
Today, Misono Kobe remains an iconic destination, drawing global visitors for a taste of delicious teppanyaki. The store sources A4 and A5 wagyu from different Japanese markets, including Hokkaido and Kagoshima. Diners are treated to the spectacle of beautifully marbled steak cooked before their eyes, expertly flipped and spun by chefs sporting tall white hats. Many of the hallmark teppanyaki techniques trace their origins back to Fujioka's ingenuity: metal steak covers are used to prevent oil from splashing onto diners and, embracing Japanese dining traditions, steaks are enjoyed with chopsticks.
Beyond food, Misono features a selection of fine wines, drinks and sake from a 260-year-old partnership with brewer Fukuju. It also offers halal Kobe beef for those with dietary restrictions.
