Kyoto, Japan｜Yakiniku Douraju PremiumRikyuu Kyoto Sanjo

Had a wonderful experience here! We were the last served for lunch, but they seated us with no issue and served us with a smile. We ended up getting the 18-piece meat selection and it was amazing. Quality meat selection and taste. Wife nicknamed it the "stairway to heaven" with the meat selections and taste. I'll add photos once she sends them to me, but great for Americans looking for a solid meal at (all things considered) an excellent price.

The three of us ordered the 800g set with my parents. It was very delicious, but it was a bit tired at the end and everyone couldn't eat anymore. 650g should be enough. Draft beer is also delicious The ordering tablet has Chinese options, and the service staff also kindly demonstrated and used a translator to tell me that the meat should be grilled for about a minute on each side, and then grilled by myself. It was very delicious. You can pay with UnionPay, which is very convenient

Nishikawa-San (our main server) was awesome. Great recommendations on cooking temps, etc. If you come here, you must try the Kobe beef. Amazing. If our local tour guide (Vanessa) didn’t recommend this place, we would have never found this gem in the vast space of the Nishiki marketplace!
