Wagyu Sukiyaki Houshoan
和牛すき焼き「烹祥庵」

Situated along Kyoto’s scenic Kamo River in the historic Pontocho district, Houshoan is renowned for its creative Japanese cuisine, especially its popular wagyu sukiyaki. Made with top-quality A5-grade beef sourced from trusted butchers across Japan, the sukiyaki delivers exceptional flavor at a price that surprises many guests.

The restaurant prioritizes quality over brand or grade, with the owner emphasizing, “We want everyone to enjoy premium food at an affordable price, without overcharging just because it’s high-end.” This commitment to accessibility and excellence defines Houshoan, where guests can casually enjoy sukiyaki and seasonal dishes.

Floor-to-ceiling glass windows along the river offer stunning views of the changing seasons, enhancing the dining experience. From May to September, the restaurant transforms with Kyoto’s traditional kawayuka, setting up terrace seating where diners can enjoy their meals while feeling the river breeze and immersing themselves in the beauty of the Kamo River. Whether basking in natural daylight or the soft evening glow, every meal here becomes a memorable Kyoto experience.
