Kobe, Hyogo, Japan｜Gururi

Super delicious! Staff speaks good english and was really helpful when choosing our dishes. We especially loved how the carrot cake was presented. Super cute!

I accidentally discovered a small shop when I moved to Kobe two years ago. The shop is run by a friendly Korean-Japanese couple. It is small in size, but it provides a lot of exquisite Korean cuisine. Because their bibimbap uses a special meat sauce, the vegetables and rice are perfectly blended, making it a dish that will make people forget to come back. If it’s your first time here and you’re confused about what to eat, you can try this first. You’ll definitely have one bite after another and won’t be able to stop! My school used to be near Sannomiya, so I would come here to eat almost every week. Gradually, I became familiar with the couple. Every time I went to the store, they would greet me with a smile, ask me about my recent situation, and chat with me. They would share happy things together, and receive heart-warming encouragement when I was depressed. For me, this store is like a small haven, quietly located in the corner of the shopping street in the downtown area. No matter it’s windy outside or the sky is clear, every time I come here, I can eat hot and delicious food. Cooking, chatting with the couple, I feel healed in my heart. Today I am about to end my life in Kobe and move to Tokyo. I think that even if I leave for a long time, I will never forget the kindness of the owner and his wife to me, and the love they put into the dishes. ぐるりさん、Two years ago. This is a good thing.

A wonderful experience all around! Cute restaurant with very friendly and kind staff (service in English as well), food was fantastic! I was actually too full too finish. The dessert menu is excellent and the cheesecake is highly recommended. I'll definitely be back again!
