Thick-Cut Meats at a Long-Established Yakiniku Restaurant

"La Shomon Honten" in Tarumi Ward, Kobe, Hyogo, is known for its secret sauce, passed down since the restaurant's founding to complement the umami of Kuroge Wagyu, along with careful meat selection that respects the distinctive character of each cut. Lunch features gozen meals and set menus, while dinner offers a varied selection including assortments of rare cuts and a la carte dishes. The bright, open interior provides a comfortable setting for a wide range of occasions, from family meals and gatherings with friends to dates.

"Akami Three-Cut Platter" for Savoring the Natural Flavor of Beef

The featured "Akami Three-Cut Platter" makes full use of whole-cattle purchasing, with the three best cuts selected from five options sourced that day. Rare cuts such as the favored "Kurimi" may also be included. Each piece is deliberately cut thick to bring out the natural umami of the lean beef, helping retain juiciness after grilling while allowing rich flavor to spread with every bite. The substantial texture of the thick cuts and the depth of flavor characteristic of Kuroge Wagyu come together in a satisfying platter.

Interior

A spacious setting for a relaxed meal

The spacious interior offers more than 130 seats in a bright, open setting. Seating options include tables suited to small groups, sunken kotatsu seating for a more relaxed meal, and a variety of private rooms well suited to celebrations and larger gatherings. Both the first and second floors feature generous layouts with ample space for comfortable dining.
