Houshoan – Wagyu Sukiyaki
和牛すき焼き「烹祥庵」

Nestled along the tranquil Kamo River in Kyoto’s atmospheric Pontocho district, Houshoan is renowned for its elegant interpretation of Japanese cuisine — with its signature wagyu sukiyaki taking center stage.

Crafted from the finest A5-grade beef, meticulously sourced from trusted producers across Japan, Houshoan’s sukiyaki is rich, tender, and unforgettable. Each bite captures the depth of premium wagyu without the excess of prestige pricing, staying true to the restaurant’s philosophy: to offer exceptional dining at fair value.

This balance of excellence and accessibility defines Houshoan, where refined flavors meet an inviting, relaxed atmosphere. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping views of the Kamo River, allowing guests to savor the beauty of Kyoto’s ever-changing seasons. From May through September, the experience extends outdoors with traditional kawayuka terrace seating, where the gentle river breeze enhances both daylight lunches and softly illuminated evenings.

At Houshoan, dining transcends the table — it becomes a serene and immersive Kyoto experience, blending culinary artistry, seasonal beauty, and genuine hospitality.

The sukiyaki menu is not available during the Yuka season (May 1st to October 15th).
