Manzara Honten
Located in a converted machiya (traditional Japanese town house), Manzara represents a pleasing fusion of traditional and modern Japanese culture. The fare here is creative modern Japanese and the surroundings are decidedly stylish. The omakase (chef’s recommendation) course is good value, with eight dishes for ¥4000, and à la carte dishes are available from ¥500. Last orders are at 11.30pm.

Nobu
Stemming from a childhood wish to become a sushi chef, Nobu Matsuhisa now has namesake restaurants in cities on four continents. His 1993 foray into the New York scene was financed by Robert De Niro, with subsequent Nobu restaurants established in Milan, Paris, London, Melbourne and Tokyo. His stunning, cutting-edge Japanese food doesn't come cheap, but the experience of eating here is simply phenomenal.

Okagawa
Not far from Kōbe City Hall, this fine tempura specialist is an oasis of calm, clean lines and good service. Hard to spot, it’s at the top of a flight of steps above a place called Daiichi (the stairs are on the left – look for the giant black spoon). There is a small English sign on street level and English menus inside.

Tanoshiya
This casual spot serves creative and fun food that might be termed 'nouvelle Japonaise'. This might include seared sashimi, skewers of chicken and assorted nibbles on the side. The chef speaks a bit of English. Look for the bamboo sign across from a diving school.

Caraway
This Japanese-style curry shop has an old-world charm and some unusual preparations. Go for the classic beef curry, or spring for chicken curry with Edam cheese.
