About Kappo Izakaya

Table-embedded teppan plates turn dinner into a hands-on cook-it-yourself session off Wright Court. Regulars drop in for the sizzle of wagyu cheese okonomiyaki, folding batter straight over the heat while staff step in with spatula tips whenever you need a hand. For those skipping the grill, stone bowls arrive blisteringly hot—loaded with beef mince, pork belly kimchi, and fried eggs over steaming rice. Small groups kick off their shoes in the recessed-floor room, sharing platters of scallops and yakisoba over cold yuzu soda.

  • Tabletop Teppan Grilling: Fry savory Japanese cabbage pancakes and cuts of wagyu over personal table hotplates, guided by staff instructions.
  • Comforting Stone Pots: Sizzling stone rice bowls loaded with beef mince or kimchi pork belly provide comforting warmth without self-cooking.
  • Traditional Japanese Room: A dedicated shoes-off room with built-in hotplates offers semi-private seating for shared group feasts.

  • Nostalgic Japanese Atmosphere

    The dining experience evokes memories of authentic street dining and regional food culture across Osaka and Hiroshima.

    Went to Japan around few weeks ago, came in here for dinner one night, and instantly felt like I was back in Japan again.
