Kobe steak restaurant MOURIYA

Kobe beef is prized for its finely textured meat fibers and delicate marbling, which has a low melting point and runs throughout the muscles. It is rich in inosinic acid and oleic acid, key components of its distinctive flavor. The deliciousness of Kobe beef is determined by its lineage, namely purebred native Japanese cattle called Tajima cattle raised in the Tajima region of northern Hyogo Prefecture. Calves that inherit the bloodline of Tajima cattle are raised in Hyogo Prefecture, and only beef that meets various criteria, said to be the strictest in Japan, can be called Kobe beef, while each and every head of cattle is managed down to its DNA.

Kobe steak restaurant MOURIYA is renowned as a place to enjoy the finest A5-grade Kobe beef served as teppanyaki steaks. It has five locations in Kobe and one in Gion in Kyoto. The photos show two of the five locations in Kobe: ROYAL MOURIYA and MOURIYA LIN.

ROYAL MOURIYA has an elegant and glamorous European-style interior, counter seats, and three private rooms with hot plates. You can enjoy your meal while watching the chefs grill Kobe beef, spiny lobster, abalone, and other ingredients on the hot plate right in front of your eyes. A sommelier is on hand to recommend wines according to your personal preferences and to highlight pairings that complement the meat and other dishes.

Meanwhile, MOURIYA LIN is located in the building next to ROYAL MOURIYA. It has an exquisite modern-Japanese atmosphere where you can enjoy grilled steaks using chopsticks in traditional Japanese style, while dipping them in wasabi or salt made in Hyogo Prefecture. A selection of Hyogo Prefecture and other sakes is available to enjoy with your meal. The restaurant also strives to use vegetables and tableware produced in Hyogo Prefecture.

All MOURIYA restaurants serve the finest A5-grade Kobe beef as well as “Mouriya strictly selected beef,” which is also from Tajima cattle lineage raised on MOURIYA’s contracted ranch. This beef is popular for its reasonable price, even though it rivals Kobe beef for quality and flavor.

Many celebrities from around the world say they look forward to sampling Kobe beef when they visit Japan. We hope that you too will enjoy the finest Kobe beef at ROYAL MOURIYA and MOURIYA LIN.
