Kobe’s Top Restaurant Reservation for A5 Kobe Beef & Sushi
Welcome to Kisshokichi Main Store!! A Kobe beef specialty restaurant offering premium Kobe beef at a reasonable price
Plump Osaka wheat udon in a light dashi-soy broth, topped with sweet soy-simmered sliced beef and spring onion. The standing-soba-and-udon shop staple of central Osaka.
Dotonbori Imai opened in 1946 in the bombed-out theatre district as an udon-suki house and helped define Osaka's lighter dashi-led udon broth, distinct from the soy-darker Tokyo style. Niku-udon, the beef variant introduced when sugared sliced beef became a workers' lunch in the 1950s, is now standard across every Osaka udon shop.
