Tsubaki Sannomiya — Updated & Simple

Next time you find yourself stepping off the train at Sannomiya Station, ignore the chain izakayas in the basement of the station building. Walk two blocks north, look for the red lantern, and push open the wooden door. Say "Irrashaimase" to the chef, order the Kobe beef garlic rice and a dry glass of Nada no Sake , and toast to the night.

Tsubaki Sannomiya offers a real experience. You will see local business owners stopping by on their way to work to bow. You will smell the camellias before you see them. You will not have to fight for a photo. Tsubaki Sannomiya
