Gentle Chinese Brunch Debuts at Kobe Kochuten Restaurant

Kobe Kochuten, a Chinese restaurant in Kobe's Sannomiya district (operated by CRK Co., Ltd.), will launch a new "Brunch Congee Set" (¥1,700 tax included) on February 1, 2026. This is the first offering in their "Lunch New Menu Project," available exclusively until 12:00 PM for a leisurely morning dining experience.

The complete Brunch Congee Set: Three appetizers, four dim sum items, and homemade desserts create a satisfying Chinese brunch experience with visual appeal.

A New Set Menu Featuring Popular Chinese Congee

Chinese congee, a quietly popular dish in Kobe Kochuten's course meals, takes center stage in this new offering. The restaurant developed the "Brunch Congee Set" to make this smooth and gentle-flavored dish more accessible to guests.

The basic Chinese congee can be upgraded to a luxurious seafood congee with shrimp, scallop, and squid for an additional ¥500 (tax included), creating a satisfying bowl infused with the flavors of premium ingredients.
