Kyoto Yakinikudokoro HIRO Sanjo-Kiyamachi

If you want to eat yakiniku barbecue featuring wagyu (Japanese beef) in Kyoto without breaking the bank, Kyoto Yakiniku HIRO Kiyamachi is the place to go. While it goes without saying that you can fully indulge yourself in the great taste of wagyu, you can also try cuisine and yakiniku barbecue featuring a variety of different cuts of the wagyu beef. The reason this is possible is that the restaurant stocks the wagyu it serves by purchasing entire cows. Consequently, guests can enjoy the great taste of wagyu featuring fresh, rare parts that you just cannot get a taste of at other restaurants. Visitors also grill the meats on their own using the smokeless roasters equipped on the table. Although at other yakiniku restaurants, the smell of the smoke while grilling the meat often ends up sticking to your clothing, at Kyoto Yakiniku HIRO Kiyamachi, there is no cause for concern since the roasters do not put off any smoke. The restaurant has been renovated from what used to be a ryokan travel lodge, and the atmosphere radiates a sense of traditional Japan in addition to being clean. From the windows, guests have a view of the Kamo River which flows right next to the restaurant. Every year from May to September, people flock to enjoy yakiniku on the noryo yuka (a seating area built from a wooden platform above the Kamo River), a seasonal summer tradition in Kyoto.
