Kobe beef tasting in Nankinmachi

Kobe's Nankinmachi district looks like a Chinatown, with red gates and rows of lanterns. A Kobe beef tasting near these streets takes place amid the smells of narrow lanes and small restaurants. The tenderness of the meat and the lively feel of the neighbourhood come together in one evening.

Nankinmachi can be crowded and narrow, so wear comfortable shoes. Meat portions are small. In the evening the lights add a different mood; guests with allergies should speak up beforehand.
