Yakiniku in Pontocho with Whale and "Kagoshima Kuroushi"
This Yakiniku restaurant opened in Pontocho, one of Kyoto's most famous Geisha districts, in February 2020. Meat enthusiasts come for the variety of irresistible dishes on offer, including thick "Kagoshima Kuroushi "steaks and rare whale tail meat. At the 2022 "National Wagyu Beef Competition," held every five years, "Kagoshima Kuroushi" won first place in six of nine categories. It also won the Prime Minister's Award. This exceptional product won the Best Carcass Award in the beef cattle category for the second consecutive year, following its victory in the previous competition. The roaster uses the latest technology to reduce oil splatter and smoke and is renowned for not leaving odours on clothes. If you're visiting Pontocho during your sightseeing trip to Kyoto, be sure to stop by.
Juicy Meat and a Chilled Glass of "Dream Beer"
Suntory’s "The Premium Malt’s MASTER’S DREAM" is made with natural spring water from Yamazaki, Osaka. Known as the "brewer’s dream," it is carefully crafted using high-quality ingredients and precise brewing methods, with a focus on great taste. It has a lingering aftertaste similar to "Hibiki" whisky, and pairs best meat dishes.
Luxury Beer with the Grace of Fine White Wine
"ROCOCO Tokyo WHITE" is mainly sold in Michelin-starred restaurants and other top-class eateries. Despite being a beer, it has no bitterness. It is characterized by a smooth, delicate texture and gorgeous aroma reminiscent of high-quality white wine, making it an excellent match with whale meat as an appetizer.
