food is amazing, made with very fresh ingredients! The beef from Hyogo Prefecture is super delicious The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff are all very friendly. Boss Yoshida is both friendly and humorous and most handsome— truly a wonderful dining experience! Highly recommend the Omakase lunch set

The quality of the food and service are truly top-class. We went for lunch, but specifically reserved Awaji beef and Awaji gyu courses. I was able to compare both the filet and roast cuts of both types, and while the Awaji beef definitely melted in your mouth more, both were cooked to perfection. All the side dishes were delicious too. The head chef cooked for my family and I and was happy to talk with us as we ate. He also kindly explained to us many things about the beef, the area, and his experiences as a chef. Although the restaurant is best accessed by car, for anyone looking for an incredible wagyu (and Japanese hospitality) experience with a memorable view while in the Kobe/Awaji area, I would absolutely recommend Genpei.

The service and food was amazing! The steak tofu was the best I've ever had and I'll be dreaming about it for years. My husband enjoyed the steak; the seasonings were perfect. We also loved the coffee at the end of the meal. It was a very quiet, intimate place to enjoy the night. Great staff and chefs!

Thank you so much, it was flawless!! Will be coming again. The fillet steak was amazing along with all the different vegetables. Also the tofu steak with tar tar was to die for

This is a wonderful steak house. It is about a five minute walk from Iwaya Port. From Akashi Port, it takes about 15 minutes by boat. The food is fabulous and is served at a nice pace from appetizers to the main dish ending with a satisfying soup. Very comfortable environment with a nice view. I would also recommend Genpei Sushi Restaurant nearby, just fantastic!
