Opened on March 8, 2013, Kobe Meister Kazuhiro Okamoto is an authentic Chinese restaurant that serves fresh seafood carefully selected from the central market every day, based on his 35 years of experience.

We are particular about the oils we use, and we use olive oil, peanut oil, etc.

Seating is at a table.

#today's dinner

★Chinese tea Shiranen Pu'er tea
★Shishamono pickled in Nanban
★Shredded beef loin stir-fried with miso and served with thin skin
★Shrimp spring rolls
★Xiaolongbao (4 pieces)
★Seafood Ankake Yakisoba (grilled on both sides)

The volume of each item is amazing.

All of them had a gentle flavor and were very delicious.
I especially liked the shrimp spring rolls and seafood yakisoba.

I want to conquer the entire menu.

I went on a Saturday at 12:30. The restaurant was full and crowded.
Lunch options include a 1,400 yen set and a 2,500 yen special set. Enjoy authentic Hong Kong cuisine including porridge, 2 seafood dishes, soup, and dessert. Refills of the porridge are free.
Not only does it have a great taste, but it's also very filling.

2nd visit
I waited for the restaurant to open, thinking it would be busy on Sunday lunch, but it turned out to be the best.
I chose the more expensive lunch course.

The restaurant, run by Kobe Meister and former head chef of Portopia Hotel, is simple and elegant.

As for the side dishes, the dried scallop porridge that comes with free refills was so delicious that I ordered another one this time as well.

I want to go again

What is Minami◯ Town, which has become a tourist destination and is full of frozen foods?
Draw the line.
