Kyoto, Japan｜Washoku Sato HiranoJinja Branch

Great place to taste authentic Japanese dishes.

We came here a second time in 1 week because we wanted to try the AYCE shabu-shabu. I had Washoku Sato in different country but didn't like it because I thought it was bland. This place isn't. We got the yinyang bowl and got to choose 2 different flavors of broth. We got the chicken broth and the spicy broth. Of course it didn't taste spicy at all but it was still really good. We got the premium combo of beef and pork. Premium allows us to order the other dishes like fried rice, tempura, miso soup, sushi, etc aside from the meat for shabu-shabu. It also includes dessert of unlimited soft serve ice cream. Great service and good food. The only thing was, we had 6 people in the group and they were going to only give us 1 communal hotpot to share. Our tour guide asked for another one so we had 2 hotpots total to share for 6 ppl.

The soba here is the best soba I have ever had in Japan. (hot soba)
