About Aburi Niku Kobo Wakkoqu Kitano Sakamoto Ten
Four-time Tabelog 100 teppanyaki counter (2021–2025) serving flame-seared Mita and Kobe wagyu at JPY 10,000–JPY 14,999 dinner, JPY 6,000–JPY 7,999 lunch.

Walk from Sannomiya in ten minutes; pair with the Shin-Kobe sister location for pre-Shinkansen bookings.
Aburi Niku Kobo Wakkoqu Kitano Sakamoto Ten is a Kobe venue with published price bands of JPY 10,000–JPY 14,999 and JPY 6,000–JPY 7,999. It is listed in the Tabelog 100 - Steak / Teppanyaki - WEST - 2025 recognition, and it operates daily for both midday and evening service.

Format and Booking Notes
Verified public information confirms the venue is in Kobe, with smart casual dress noted. Specific details such as seat count, room layout, private booking zones, payment methods, service charges, child policies, and parking are not verified here, so they should be confirmed directly before booking if they matter to your party.
The venue operates daily from 12 PM to 3 PM and 5 PM to 9 PM. Because the listed hours include both midday and evening service, diners can consider either time window depending on schedule and budget. As with many premium restaurants, confirming the latest availability in advance is the safest approach.

At JPY 10,000–JPY 14,999 for dinner, this teppanyaki counter sits between erre (JPY 15,000–JPY 19,999) and Tonkatsu to Wine Nichigetsu (same lunch price, lighter tonkatsu format). The four-year Tabelog 100 run gives it more editorial credibility than erre, which lacks the same award density, and the counter-only format delivers more chef interaction than you get at tonkatsu-and-wine hybrid spots. Aspirant costs double (JPY 30,000–JPY 39,999) and pivots to French technique, worth it for innovation-focused diners, but overkill if your goal is flame-seared Hyogo wagyu. Kitanosaka Kobayashi operates at JPY 2,000–JPY 2,999 for both lunch and dinner but lacks the counter theatre and wagyu focus that define the teppanyaki category; fine for a quick neighborhood meal, insufficient for a special-occasion beef dinner.
Booking difficulty favors this venue: reservations are available without the multi-week waits that hit Michelin-starred teppanyaki elsewhere in Kansai, and the four separate counters (6 to 10 seats each) mean you can secure a semi-private section for parties of six to ten. That flexibility makes it easier to accommodate groups than single-counter formats at competitors. If you want the same menu with faster Shinkansen access, the sister location (Aburi Niku Kobo Wakkoku Shinkobe ten) near Shin-Kobe Station works as a high-end pre-train option, but the Kitano-zaka flagship carries the original neighborhood atmosphere and the full award history.
For value-focused diners, the JPY 6,000–JPY 7,999 lunch offers the same Mita and Kobe wagyu sourcing at nearly half the dinner price. That band matches Tonkatsu to Wine Nichigetsu but swaps pork cutlet for teppanyaki beef. Choose tonkatsu-and-wine if you want a lighter midday experience with beverage pairings; choose this for the full counter-grilled wagyu format. Dinner justifies the premium when you want the extended tasting-style service and sake-shochu-cocktail breadth, but lunch delivers 80% of the beef quality for 60% of the spend.
