I finally visited "Kitanozaka Kinoshita," a restaurant in Kobe's Kitano-zaka that is said to have a 3-year waiting list.It's about a 5-minute walk from Sannomiya Station. This Italian restaurant opened in 2020 and quickly became popular, known for its difficulty in making reservations. Currently, they accept new bookings through OMAKASE, but it often fills up shortly after reservations open.The restaurant is located on the second floor of a building, featuring a calm atmosphere centered around a counter. The dining experience is in a course format, starting all at once, allowing for a special moment.Their concept is to "maximize the natural flavors of the ingredients," showcasing dishes made with ingredients sourced from producers across the country, as well as cooking with charcoal and firewood. They have received the Tabelog Award for Gold in 2025 and 2026 and have been selected as one of the "Top 100 Italian Restaurants in the West 2025."While making a reservation can be challenging, it’s clear why people come from all over the country to dine here. If you're considering a special meal in Kobe, this place is definitely worth checking out.
