On a blustery afternoon, Kobe Hibachi is a hot place to be. From my four-top table in the sushi section, I watched a nonstop parade of diners enter into the hibachi grill section, separated from me by a frosted window.

I could hear and smell the fragrant hiss of steam on the hot griddles. Occasionally, the window would flash orange with fire. No doubt, the hibachi section was alive – though my section felt no less festive.

Yes, celebration is the name of Kobe’s game, and this season there are a number of ways to get in on the party.
