Izutsuya Sanjo-ten

November 2024: Please note Izutsuya Sanjo-ten has now permanently closed. Please see What to Eat in Kyoto for suggestions of other places to eat.

This is a great place to enjoy some of Japan’s famed “wagyu” (Japanese beef).

Famed for the Kyoto and Tanba-gyu (Kyoto and Tanba beef), this place is a carnivores delight. You can have you meat a variety of ways, but cooked on the teppan (iron griddle) is the way to go. It’s best to have a concierge call and arrange things here before you show up.
