Yakiniku — Japanese grill-it-yourself barbecue — is the best group dinner in Kobe: you order plates of meat, cook them over a tabletop grill, and drink as you go. Many places offer an all-you-can-eat (tabehodai) or all-you-can-drink (nomihodai) course for a fixed price.

Expect ¥3,000–¥6,000 per person with drinks at a mid-range place; premium wagyu specialists cost more. Most yakiniku restaurants in Kobe take reservations, and weekends fill up — arrive before 18:30 or book.

Local specialty: Kobe Beef. The world-famous Tajima cattle beef, known for exceptional marbling. Kobe is the place to try it as steak, sukiyaki, or teppanyaki — at prices noticeably lower than abroad. Mouriya (Kitano), Steak Land (Sannomiya), or the beef restaurants in Kitano's Ijinkan district.

What should I order at yakiniku?
