Concept

The natural bounty of the sea and the mountains; tradition and innovation
An experiential restaurant that interweaves the unique charms of Kobe and Hyogo.

We serve ingredients cultivated by local Kobe and Hyogo producers with all their heart and soul to our customers, and allow them to experience the excellence of those ingredients

We aim to connect the passion of producers to our customers through a variety of experiences, including cuisine, beverage pairings, tableware, service, and others, and to propagate its value without boundaries with an eye on the future.

In order to pass on these rich resources to the next generation, we are committed to going beyond the framework of a restaurant.

Cuisine concept

CUISINE FIN
《Flexible・Imagination・Natural》

To express an unbounded and free spirit in our cuisine, just as Kobe has nurtured a mixed culture by flexibly absorbing cultures from all across the world since the opening of Kobe port;

To make hearts sing using the natural bounties of the sea and the mountains of Kobe and Hyogo, where ingredients are abundantly available due to the climate and rare geographical features, and to remember to appreciate the work of farmers;

And with the keywords flexible, imagination, and natural, our staff will strive to make the precious moments our customers spend at Restaurant Soraku peaceful and enjoyable.
FIN《Flexible・Imagination・Natural》

The concept of FIN (feather) is based on three things we consider important as a restaurant that continues to coexist with society: -flexibility, imagination, and respect for nature-, including contribution to the local community, food loss issues, and SDGs; as well as our hope that the many staff members working with Restaurant Soraku will spread their wings, going from Kobe to the rest of the world.

Service and Drinks Concept

PHYLOSOPHY

Sommeliers believe that just as food has flow and intensity, offense and defense, security, stimulation, and playfulness, so too should the service and beverages that complement it, and they assemble attraction-like pairing courses using wines and beverages from across the world to complement food.

However, a restaurant is something that is created in conjunction with its customers.
The service and the wine pairings constantly change and evolve based on communication with our customers.

Isn't that where not only delicious food, but also enjoyment and excitement, are born?
With this thought in mind, I continue to stand in the restaurant every day.
Sommelier Akira Tsukamoto

Honed his craft at "Au Bec Fin Kobe", a long-established restaurant in Kobe City, and at numerous sommelier competitions.
He is currently introducing wines from all over the world through restaurant service, lecturing at wine schools, wine seminars, and his writing.
