Gionmachi Minamigawa, Kyoto
Tucked away in a Gion basement, this family-run teppanyaki gem is famous for serving high-quality A5 Wagyu beef and savory okonomiyaki in a warm, welcoming pub atmosphere. Run by a friendly husband-and-wife duo, it bridges the gap between premium Japanese steakhouse and casual izakaya. It is highly accommodating to international travelers, offering English menus and gluten-free options.
Book weeks in advance via their website; with only a few counter seats and tables, they rarely have space for walk-ins.
