I'm currently on a business trip in Kobe!Ranked 20th in the Hyogo Prefecture Tabelog genre.I visited Arakawa, a renowned Kobe beef steakhouse that has been in business for 70 years!!I had smoked meat with melon, smoked Asahikawa king salmon, Akashi Strait red shrimp salad, and Seto's Mita beef strip loin, along with an assorted dessert platter.I remember visiting the Tokyo branch of Arakawa 25 years ago, and the marbling on the strip loin was so rich that it left quite an impression on my stomach even at the age of 25.Although I aimed to conquer the top 30 spots in the prefecture on Tabelog, I had been somewhat hesitant about visiting Arakawa, ranked 20th in Hyogo.However, realizing that I must visit at least once, I decided that the sooner, the better, which led to my first visit!To my surprise, Seto's Mita beef strip loin was quite lean and very easy to eat!25 years ago, the trend was all about marbled beef, but now lean cuts are gaining popularity nationwide. Perhaps it's just a sign of the times?The king salmon was of high quality with concentrated flavor, and the steak was very easy to enjoy, but the overall dish composition was quite simple.On Tabelog, more unique dishes that highlight the ingredients' flavors receive higher ratings, so while I respect the 70-year history, it seems difficult to score higher for simply delicious steak.Ranked 11th out of 30 in the Hyogo Prefecture Tabelog genre.I visited!The fluctuations below 20th place have made it challenging to fill in the top spots in Hyogo, but at least 10 out of the 30 spots are starting to solidify!
