Casual Lounge Kokoro
Located close to Kobe Airport,in the heart of Kobe Port Island,
inside the Ariston Hotel Kobe,is “Casual Lounge Kokoro.”
When you think of a teppanyaki restaurant in a hotel, you might imagine it being “high-end” or “intimidating,”
but as our name suggests, our concept is to make teppanyaki more casual.
Not only can you enjoy expertly selected black Wagyu steak at a reasonable price,
but we also offer a rich selection of lunch and à la carte menus.
Single diners and casual dining are also warmly welcomed!
Whether you want to indulge a little more than usual, enjoy delicious food in a relaxed setting,
or just stop by while sightseeing in Kobe, we would be delighted to have you visit us.
A5-grade black Wagyu beef

The black Wagyu beef we use is A5 grade, sourced through our unique channels, allowing us to offer it at about half the price compared to the market rates in the bustling area of Sannomiya.
Our signature dish is the A5-grade black Wagyu steak, grilled to perfection on a 20mm thick iron plate. It’s a must-try and a highlight of our menu.
We highly recommend you try it at least once.
