Luxury space based on white
It's about a 5 minute leisurely walk from Sannomiya Subway or Hankyu Kobe Sannomiya Station. Kobe Monteblanco is a shop with a blue roof facing a large intersection on Kitanozaka.
A popular store that has been visited by many fans since it opened in April 2021. Take out on the 1st floor, or eat in at the cafe space on the 2nd floor.
Access the 2nd floor from this spiral staircase. Expectations are high for the gorgeous atmosphere full of extraordinary feeling!
What welcomes you is a spacious space with comfortable sunlight from the large windows! The interior is based on white, and the combination of brown interior and iron is stylish, and it is surrounded by a modern atmosphere that is unique to Kobe.
Take a breather at the tables, which are spaciously arranged so that you can spend time with friends, family, or even alone.
There is often a wait time during cafe time on weekends, so reservations are recommended!
Lots of special feeling! freshly squeezed mont blanc
``Will I be photographed while I stop down?'' asked Mr. Sasai, the store manager. Yes, the much-talked-about Mont Blanc uses a special machine that squeezes each order right in front of you.
Anyone can take pictures, including videos! It's nice to be able to see rare moments up close.
``Now, I'll add the toppings and bring them to your seat,'' said Mr. Sasai. Waiting for completion is also a fun time . Mont Blanc comes in five flavors: chestnut, sweet potato, pumpkin, matcha, and roasted tea.
This time I ordered the most popular item, ``Churi''!
Complete! A luxurious chestnut with marron sauce, crunch, walnuts, pistachios, and the Mont Blanc cream that was squeezed right in front of me. It has just the right amount of sweetness, and the soft whipped cream melts in your mouth.
When you gently insert a fork into it, you'll find a sponge cake inside! The simple taste brings out the deliciousness of chestnuts. Fluffy, crispy... Enjoy the different textures!
Other options include ``Imo'' that makes you feel like you're eating a roasted sweet potato, ``Kabocha'' topped with pumpkin seeds from Hokkaido, ``Matcha'' made with Uji Matcha from Shinsaibashi Ujien, and the aroma of Asahi Hojicha that will soothe you. ``Hojicha'' is also popular.
Very satisfied with the parfait and drinks
This is what my friend ordered. The hearty Mont Blanc is now available as a stylish parfait.
For the 5 flavors, I was drawn to chestnuts and selected my favorite hojicha.
Of course, the parfait will also be prepared in front of you by squeezing the chestnut paste. If you would like to take a photo, please feel free to let the staff know. Please call me when the time is right.
Among the set drinks, the refreshingly flavored herbal tea is popular among women!
There are six types in total, including ``Wild Berry Hibiscus'' with a bright color and sweet scent, ``Organic African Nectar'' with an organic rooibos base, and ``Ginger Twist'' with spiced Korean ginseng.
If you're not sure which one to choose, try a sample of the scent. ``Please try drinking it straight to bring out the sweet taste,'' says Sasai.

The coffee beans are ground after your order is placed, and each cup is carefully dripped.
The aromatic coffee goes perfectly with Mont Blanc!
Inside the parfait, there are chunks of fruit! On this day, there was a refreshing lineup of pineapple, melon, and watermelon. There are also kiwis, strawberries, and other fruits that change depending on the season, which makes it fun to visit.
It also includes sweet and sour strawberry sauce, soft serve ice cream, sponge cake, and jiggly shiratama dumplings.
Lunch is A5 rank Kobe beef
">
In response to customer requests, we started offering lunch in January 2023. Among them, the store's most recommended special beef stew is amazing! Contains plenty of A5 rank Kobe beef.
``Since you've come all the way to Kobe, I want you to eat your fill of delicious meat.'' This product was born out of this idea, and is handmade from the sauce using a recipe that goes well with Kobe beef.
">
Mont Blanc salad that goes perfectly with our original dressing is also available! The ``Salad Lunch'' (1,760 yen) allows you to choose from 5 different flavors, with your choice of mini Mont Blanc or bread. The inside of the mini Mont Blanc is ice cream!
Please try the menu that can only be eaten here.
Great for walking around Kobe! Take-out is also welcome.
At the takeout corner on the 1st floor, we are selling "Monte Sorbete" and shaved ice that are great for eating while walking! I saw tourists just coming down from Kitanozaka and taking a breather with this soft serve ice cream.
You can also see through the glass how the chestnut paste is squeezed out for the finishing touch! Enjoy a leisurely stroll around Kobe with a visually appealing soft-serve ice cream in hand.
Be sure to make a reservation and go out, using the blue roof along Kitanozaka as your landmark.
