"Japan, Kobe"
Hello
This is Kobe Lunch
Every time we come to Japan
we always eat sushi
Yes, that's right
Even today, coming to Kobe
it's been a little while
and we finally eating sushi
Yeah, right
It's the third day
There were so many delicious things
- but finally, it’s time for sushi! - That's right
But every time I eat sushi
Sushi in Japan
always feels like a guaranteed win taste-wise
Yes, really wherever we go
- it was really delicious - That's right
That’s why we're
really looking forward to this meal today!
We looked up
quite a few great spots
and they all happened to be in the Sannomiya area
Yeah, since here is the main area
it makes sense
[Almost there]
[Waiting]
We’re actually
first in line
Seems like weekdays aren’t too bad
Even if you come for lunch
[Entering in 5 minutes]
[Full house]
The menu is simple
- There are three types - This is a lunch set
Or otherwise
You can order a la carte
They must know we are Korean
- So they gave us a Korean menu right away - Indeed
Fortunately, the language is well-supported
It's okay because there are pictures here
Let's order one of this B
- This is already 12 pieces - Okay
[Arriving in 10 minutes]
[Lunch set B, C]
First, let me introduce mine
Mine has 12 pieces
and I ordered set B
There is tuna here
And there is fatty toro
There are various kinds of fish and shrimp
With these 12 pieces
including soup and side dishes
[9,800 KRW] It's only 1,050 yen
This is Japanese cuisine
It's a different set
but here are only 10 pieces
Also with soup
and side dishes
[12,000 KRW] It's 1,250 yen
This is, for the first time in my life
I feel the food is bigger than the picture
Has there been such a case?
Usually, the picture looks more delicious
but here, the actual food looks tastier
One slightly
disappointing point is
you can't choose the kind
- If you eat the set - Right
But if you eat a la carte
you can obviously choose
but the only thing you can choose here is
- whether to include wasabi or not - Right
- Other than that, there's nothing - Yeah
[Thinking]
No matter how much I think about it
the sushi we tried in Hong Kong
seems to be fake
First of all, the size is
so overwhelming
Was sushi originally this big?
First, I have to eat the ones I know
like tuna, first
How is it? You're a sushi maniac
It's really fresh
[Impressed]
It melts in my mouth, really melts
The portion is quite large
And I understand why people come alone
to eat here
But of course
[Hesitation]
it's cheap
they give a lot
and it's really delicious
But it's obviously not
- the level of omakase - Right
This has got to be
- the best bang for your buck! - Right
Every time I eat this
It’s honestly hard not to be impressed!
- Everything is really delicious - I know
Another thing is
I think the rice is also delicious
The rice is very chewy
and well-seasoned
so it goes well with the fish
Except for us
there are no foreigners
- Right - They are all really Japanese people
who live in this area
It's a place where local Japanese people come
That's why I think one of the advantages
of traveling to Kobe is that
When you go to Osaka or Tokyo
- there are too many foreign tourists - Yes
No matter which restaurant you go to, those people
are really mostly there
But if you go to a famous restaurant in Kobe
they're all really local people
It's hard to see tourists
That's really nice
I don't know what this is
Maybe some kind of cutlassfish
So everyone
you must order something else
so you can exchange it, everyone
This sushi we just received
has a perilla leaf inside
because it's a bit fishy
It's not perilla leaf but shiso
- Isn't it Japanese perilla leaf? - Japanese perilla leaf
So the smell
completely gets rid of the fishy taste
- It has a bit of a mint scent, right? - Right
Don't you dislike mint chocolate?
[Anti-mint chocolate faction]
- But this is okay? - Yes
Isn't the wasabi a bit spicy?
Oh, slightly
Is it just my feeling?
The wasabi you eat in Japan
seems to be a bit spicier
If you look at the soy sauce
it's slightly salty
and has a bit of sweetness at the end
So with the wasabi
when you eat it with sushi
it seems like a perfect match
[Looking around]
I saw it on the menu earlier
if you order a la carte
it seems like the price suddenly gets much higher
This is much more cost-effective
It's cheaper
We were actually planning
to come here for dinner
but I think we made a good choice
That way, at least once
it feels like we’re getting a little taste
- of what it’s like to live here! - Right
[Fullness]
There is too much
I can't eat it all
I need to request help
[Request for a knight in shining armor]
These mackerel sushi
- can quickly become fishy, right? - Yeah
But the sushi in Japan
even such sushi is really delicious
- Yes, that's right - It's fresh
and it's really tasty here too
I really enjoyed the meal today
As expected, Kobe sushi is also delicious
That's right
It never disappoints us
What was particularly impressive here was
with the lunch special menu
the cost-effectiveness is added
That's right
The taste is good
and the price was really satisfying
[22,000 KRW] The price came out to 2,300 yen now
Honestly, it’s amazing that
[About 12,000 KRW] for around 1,200 yen per person
we can have lunch
If you visit Kobe
this is really a place you must stop by
Right*3
So in the future, we will find more delicious places and
continue our Kobe trip
Bye-bye
