Just a one-minute walk from Higashi-Umeda Station: experience Japanese hospitality with Kobe beef, wild oysters and clay-pot rice at Kakitetsu.

Discover two specially selected set menus at JPY 15,000 and JPY 23,000 (tax included), featuring Kobe beef served with a certificate, seasonal wild oysters and freshly cooked clay-pot rice. Cook rare cuts on a lava stone to your preferred doneness. Experience Kakitetsu’s distinctive cuisine for business dining, gatherings, anniversaries or entertaining VIP guests.Please make your reservation at least two days before your visit.

We present a certificate bearing the cattle identification number at your table, so you can enjoy Kobe beef with clear provenance. Two cuts of the day are selected from ribushin (ribeye heart), ramushin (rump heart), hiuchi (tri-tip) and ichibo (rump cap). Cook them to your preferred doneness on a lava stone that produces little smoke. Savour the sweetness of the fat and the rich umami of lean meat in this distinctive Kobe beef tasting experience.

In summer, our oyster specialists select large, fresh wild oysters from coastal regions across Japan. Our generous rock oysters are served with momiji oroshi (grated daikon with chilli) and ponzu, or with sudachi citrus, bringing out their plump texture and rich flavour. Around October, we switch to seasonal Pacific oysters. Savour the distinctive taste of each season.

Our clay-pot rice uses Koshihikari rice grown in Meiwa, Mie Prefecture, to the standards of “Ginhime”, with reduced pesticide use and the Karugen farming method. To bring out its plump, glossy grains and natural sweetness, we cook each pot to order in dashi seasoned with oyster soy sauce. Lift the lid to a cloud of fragrant steam and enjoy the flavour of freshly cooked rice.

Our sake selection brings together regional brews from across Japan, and we can recommend a glass to complement seasonal oysters. Our wines include carefully chosen labels from Slovakia, Austria and beyond, selected to harmonise with the oysters’ briny aroma and the rich umami of Kobe beef. Enjoy the depth and lingering flavours created by each pairing.

Since opening in 2015, we have welcomed legislators, VIPs and well-known guests from many walks of life. With Japanese character and warm lighting, our dining room offers a fitting setting for business entertaining, anniversaries and meals with distinguished guests from overseas. Let us treat the people who matter to you to carefully selected ingredients and thoughtfully prepared dishes.
