モーリヤ本店 · Sannomiya, Kobe · Teppanyaki

How to book

PlatformTableCheck

Advance bookings on TableCheck; the phone takes same-day only. No release day — peak dinner slots at the Honten still sell out days ahead, so book once your dates are fixed.

What to expect: Kobe's best-known Kobe-beef teppan house (since 1885) with six branches; advance seats go through TableCheck, and an official English/Chinese/Korean concierge adds 10% but refunds fully under its rules.
