One might think of gyudon (牛丼, Gyūdon, Beef bowl) as being mainly fast-food with the prevalence of gyudon chains all around Japan. Kobe Gyudon Hiroshige elevates this with a soft, melt-in-your mouth Kobe Beef (神戸牛, Kōbe-gyū) slices atop a bed of rice and topped with a savory-sweet, umami-filled, sauce.
One of the cheapest places to try out Kobe Beef, the shop is run entirely by the owner, Hishī Hiroshige (菱井宏重), who takes orders, cooks, and does the cleaning. Since there are no other staff, he is able to serve the Kobe Beef at a much lower price than that of other establishments. As such, also expect to wait in long lines as only having a single staff means that the queue moves at a rather slow pace.
