Nestled within a beautifully preserved geisha house in Kyoto with over a century of history, Yakiniku Hiro invites guests to indulge in the finest wagyu in an atmosphere of refined elegance.
Renovated in 2019, the restaurant offers counter and table seating on the first floor, with private rooms upstairs for a more intimate experience.
Yakiniku Hiro is renowned for sourcing only whole cattle, ensuring that every cut of wagyu served is of the highest quality—fresh, safe, and exceptional. At the Pontocho location, the focus is on curated wagyu courses designed to showcase the depth and variety of this celebrated beef.
While ordering individual cuts is one approach to yakiniku, the courses at Hiro elevate the experience, guiding guests through a journey of flavor and texture. From delicate comparisons of premium cuts to the harmony of expertly prepared dishes, each course offers a rare opportunity to savor the pinnacle of wagyu within Kyoto’s historic charm.
