Kobe Kochuten's May Specials: 'Gently Fulfilling Early Summer Treats'

Chinese Restaurant Kobe Kochuten is pleased to announce its May special a la carte menu, featuring two dishes designed to satisfy both mind and body with gentle flavors: 'Lion's Head Meatball Stew' and 'Spring Cabbage and Clam Noodle Soup,' available for a limited time.

As we approach early summer and temperatures begin to rise, we have prepared a hearty 'stew feast' to savor deep umami flavors and a light noodle dish featuring seasonal ingredients.

Enjoy the sophisticated flavors unique to Kobe Kochuten, crafted with a dedication to seasonal excellence.

### Menu Details

**Lion's Head Meatball Stew — 1,800 JPY (tax included)** Large, satisfying meatballs slow-cooked in a refined, clear soup. The meatballs are so tender they melt away with just a touch of chopsticks. The rich flavor of the meat blends into the soup, creating a 'stew feast' that can be enjoyed to the last drop. Served in a piping hot clay pot.

**Spring Cabbage and Clam Noodle Soup — 1,300 JPY (tax included)** A seasonal noodle dish combining sweet spring cabbage with umami-rich clams. The natural sweetness of the cabbage and the dashi from the clams melt into the clear, salty soup, offering a taste of the transition from spring to early summer in every bite. It is light yet satisfying, perfect as a meal finale.
