Hi there,

Apologies, don't know about the grades of Kobe beef much, but I can say that I've been there twice, though both times before Covid. I wasn't disappointed either time, and didn't feel that it was overpriced. The one thing I would say is that it clearly caters to tourists, so maybe not the most authentic Japanese experience, but equally you have translated menus, explanations and a bit of a show as the beef is cooked in front of you.

I would also say don't feel that you have to buy the super expensive stuff - I think I only went for the middle grade or even lower and it was fantastic. Buttery smooth, great tasting, almost didn't even need to use your teeth. Of course, if you feel like you need to experience the absolute best and you don't mind the big difference in cost, then no complaints from me!
