obiobi

While many dream of enjoying Kobe beef in its namesake city of Kobe, obiobi is a dining destination that goes one step further—pursuing the ultimate way to savor it.

Since opening in 2016, the restaurant has become known for its signature Kobe beef course, prepared using a custom-made charcoal grill.
Over the course of 50 minutes, the beef is slowly and carefully grilled, with the chef adjusting the distance between the charcoal and the meat to achieve a tender, juicy finish—an experience unique to obiobi.

Kobe beef is undeniably delicious, but its rich fat can sometimes feel overwhelming. Chef Suga believes that the key to balancing the savory meat and its luxurious fat is to cook it slowly over charcoal, allowing the excess fat to melt away while preserving its full flavor.

Whether it’s a lean tenderloin or a richly marbled sirloin, charcoal grilling brings out the ideal texture and taste. For those seeking a meatier bite, cuts like ichibo and rump—taken from the rear and thigh—are also available.

The interior of obiobi is not about theatrics, but about calm refinement. With a chic, understated design, guests can relax at the counter or at spacious tables and enjoy their meal in comfort.

A resident sommelier is on hand to recommend wines that perfectly complement the flavors of Kobe beef, making this a must-visit spot for wine lovers as well.
