Overview

Kyoto is a city defined by its deep layers of history, tradition, and refined culture. Naturally, this artistic spirit extends to its culinary scene, where locals hold an immense passion for high-quality food. While Kyoto is world-famous for its delicate, plant-based wanshoku and kaiseki cuisine, it also harbors a surprising twist: a deeply rooted, vibrant love for exceptional beef.

This private dining experience invites you to step inside a beloved local restaurant that has been cherished by generations of residents. Guided by your personal local concierge, you will enjoy a relaxed evening tailored entirely to your tastes. Together, you will explore the rich history of wagyu in Japan, discover unique ways to appreciate each cut, and dive into casual, meaningful conversations about daily life in Kyoto. More than just a dinner, this tour is an invitation to experience the city’s authentic, hidden food culture and connect deeply with a local insider over an unforgettable meal.
