Our Commitment
Melting beef, a moment of perfection.
What makes Kobe Beef special:
sourcing and craftsmanship you can trust.
What matters most to Yakiniku no Gyuta Honjin Himeji Ekimae
is putting that care into every single plate.
Drawing on our roots as a meat wholesaler,
we source Kobe Beef and carefully selected Japanese wagyu.
With a trained eye for quality,
to bring out the character of each cut,
we prepare each cut with care.
We pay close attention to thickness and knife work,
so the flavour shines the moment it meets the grill,
we serve it at its very best.
While never compromising on quality,
at a price many guests can enjoy,
we offer a truly satisfying yakiniku experience.
The wagyu flavour only Honjin can offer —
please enjoy it to your heart’s content.

So that premium ingredients such as Kobe Beef and Japanese wagyu
can be enjoyed at their very best.
At Yakiniku no Gyuta Honjin, from sourcing to preparation
and every step through to serving

Handwork guided by a deep read of the beef
brings out the full flavour and texture of the wagyu,
and makes the yakiniku experience all the richer.
Carefully selected Kobe Beef and Japanese wagyu
Yakiniku that lets you fully savour Japanese wagyu, starting with world-renowned Kobe Beef. Drawing on our roots as a meat wholesaler, we select beef in prime condition, judging quality and balance. Uncompromising on quality, yet offered at a price many guests can enjoy. That too is what makes Honjin special.
Careful preparation that draws out the flavour
Wagyu varies greatly from cut to cut in the sweetness of its fat, the depth of its lean meat and its texture. To bring out that character we adjust the cut and thickness for each part, so it is at its best on the grill. Careful preparation is what draws out the full pleasure of yakiniku.
Kobe Beef enjoyed as yakiniku
The appeal of Kobe Beef lies in its fine texture and the elegant sweetness of its fat. Grilled as yakiniku, that aroma and the depth of wagyu come through fully. At Honjin we serve dishes that let you enjoy Kobe Beef at its best.

Karubi with the rich flavour and sweet fat unique to Kobe Beef. Juicy and beautifully fragrant on the grill, it is our number one dish. A satisfying plate that captures the very essence of yakiniku.
