麓の宮 神戸牛ステーキ割烹 at Dotonbori, Osaka

A refined Kobe beef teppanyaki and kappo counter in Dotonbori, pairing A5 steak with seasonal Japanese cuisine.

Fumoto-no-miya Kobe Beef Steak Kappo is an intimate eight-seat counter restaurant on the second floor of a Dotonbori building, just six minutes from Kintetsu Nippombashi Station. The kitchen is a collaboration between a veteran steakhouse chef and a cook trained at a Michelin-starred Japanese restaurant, resulting in a menu that pairs teppanyaki Kobe beef with seasonal kappo courses. Only the highest grade of Kobe beef is used, with a marbling score of ten to twelve. The dining room is chic and quietly luxurious, designed to feel far from the bustle of Dotonbori below. Counter seating lets guests watch the chef work the iron plate, turning each steak into a small performance. English, Chinese and Korean menus are available, and the team can accommodate guests from solo diners to small parties of up to eight. For a special occasion or simply a memorable evening in Osaka, Fumoto-no-miya offers a focused, high-calibre introduction to Kobe beef. It is a place where craftsmanship and ingredient speak clearly, unhurried by the noise outside.
