Kobe beef steak MOURIYA GION

The delights of teppanyaki include savoring the sound and aroma of meat and seafood being grilled right before your eyes while observing the chef’s masterful skills as you enjoy your meal.

Kobe beef is said to be the world’s most delicious beef. As it is solely a brand name, there is no specific Kobe beef breed of cattle. Stringent criteria—said to be the strictest in Japan—must be met for meat to be given this brand name, with even the DNA of Kobe beef sold on the market controlled.

MOURIYA GION is the Kyoto branch of MOURIYA, which specializes in teppanyaki steak and has five locations in Kobe. Since Kyoto has the highest beef consumption in Japan, there are many customers in the city who can judge the quality of meat using both sight and taste. But even in this demanding environment, MOURIYA GION is highly acclaimed and beloved for serving the finest steaks.

Located east of Shijo Ohashi Bridge, a popular tourist spot, the restaurant can be reached by heading south just one street east of the Shijo Ohashi intersection. It occupies the first, second, and fourth floors of the Gion Mouriya Building, and each floor is elegantly decorated in Japanese style to create a glamorous dining experience.

All MOURIYA restaurants serve the finest A5-grade Kobe beef as well as A5-grade “MOURIYA strictly selected beef” from cattle raised on MOURIYA’s contracted ranch. Mouriya strictly selected beef is a first-class product, noted for its marbling, quality of fat, and fine texture. It is carefully selected by MOURIYA using experience acquired over many years of handling Kobe beef. This exceptional beef rivals Kobe beef for taste, texture, and meat quality. The finest Kobe beef and MOURIYA strictly selected beef are grilled in front of your eyes by skilled chefs, delivering a truly blissful flavor experience.

The menu centers on a course meal featuring your choice of Kobe beef or MOURIYA strictly selected beef (such as sirloin or fillet steak), prepared to your preferred size. Other courses include luxury ingredients such as lobster, spiny lobster, and abalone, all fresh from the tank. Meanwhile, there are à la carte dishes that include seasonal grilled vegetables, roast Kobe beef, MOURIYA special garlic rice, and teppanyaki foie gras.

At MOURIYA GION, you can enjoy truly high-quality Kobe beef that is a cut above the rest, even for this world-renowned beef brand. Be sure to make a reservation when you visit Kyoto.
