Mikaku

Kyoto Gion Mikaku is a historic restaurant that first opened its doors in 1929, offering a refined dining experience centered around premium beef. Known for its unwavering commitment to quality, Mikaku started with traditional Japanese beef dishes and later introduced sizzling teppanyaki steak, a favorite among patrons, especially after being influenced by occupying military officers' preferences in the post-war era. As it approaches its centenary in 2029, Mikaku continues to provide exceptional cuts of domestic beef sourced directly from Mita, Hyogo Prefecture.

Each cut is expertly aged and prepared in-house, ensuring that the meat retains its rich flavors and presentation. Guests can savor delicacies such as sukiyaki, where the quality of the meat truly shines. Located along the picturesque cherry blossom-lined streets of Gion, the restaurant offers a cozy setting with 15 counter seats, a perfect backdrop for enjoying exquisite beef dishes. Reservations are required, emphasizing a commitment to personalized service and culinary excellence.
