SeanyTravels (Japan) #31 I ate Sizzling Kobe Beef at Kobe Chinatown!
For people that knew me before 2014, I actually never ate beef then, or before that in my entire life. It was because my family did not eat it, I think due to their parents not eating it, and maybe partly due to religion. I might have accidentally ate some during my trip to China when my friends 'pranked' me into eating pork that was actually beef, but I'm really not sure. It might just have been a reverse joke on their part.
Anyway, I do eat beef now, and quite alot when I go to Japan as well, since there are so many awesome gyuudons and beef cuts and BBQ everywhere!
So one of the most expensive Beef I've eaten in my life, is probably Kobe Beef.
I'll bring you to Kobe Chinatown today, just to check it out :D
on the train towards Kobe
I actually think I took the Shinkansen to Kobe, just because I could. I had the JR Pass, so its definitely the fastest and most comfortable option!
It isn't very hard to navigate around Kobe. The most popular sites are the Nankin-Machi (Chinatown) that we will see today, as well as probably the Kobe Port.
Kobe Chinatown is unmistakable with the architecture you will see once you've reached and It's definitely quite lively and bustling around there too.
Kobe Chinatown isn't very big, but the food there should be enough to keep your taste buds craving and satisfied. You can try other Chinese food available, like buns, fried rice and chinese stir fried noodles. I have enough of that in Singapore, so my main aim is just the Kobe Beef.
We have reached the store right smack in the centre of Nankin-Machi! You can see that it's really super popular. They cook it on the spot and slice it right it front of you, extremely tantalizing. Writing about it now and watching the video makes me really hungry.
Check out the video here! Listen to the Beef SIZZLE!
Ta-Da! Dip it in their special sauce, or without, and you will be sure to be left wanting for more.
Which we did, so we ordered a second portion of a different quality cut.
I WANT TO GO BACK NOW AND EAT ITTTTT!

Want to have your post on the map too?
Kobe Beef is super expensive over here in the US. I've never splurged on it. Maybe I should. Chinatown looks fun with the architecture and lanterns. That is the same world over. Like San Francisco or Oakland which has much bigger Chinatown than people expect.
yep!! this specific chinatown in japan is one of the bigger ones here. if im not wrong there's 2 or 3 famous ones in Japan. You should try Kobe beef! maybe just an occasional indulgence, it indeed is very expensive. I'm probably gonna splurge on it next month :x
ah looks yummy!! 😋
