Wagyu Sukiyaki Akayashiro

Tabiiro’s picks: signature dishes

Sukiyaki with beautifully marbled wagyu and carefully selected ingredients

The "Premium Wagyu Sukiyaki Course" with Rich Eggs from Uji

The "Premium Wagyu Sukiyaki Course" pairs premium wagyu with specially chosen eggs. Rather than relying on a single brand, the meat is selected each day based on its condition, allowing high-quality cuts to be served at a reasonable price. Premium sirloin and tenderloin are briefly cooked in warishita sukiyaki sauce, bringing out the beef's sweetness and richness while preserving its melt-in-the-mouth tenderness. Coating the meat in the rich yolk of "Yadorigi no Tamago" eggs from Uji, Kyoto Prefecture, adds a mellow richness and greater depth of flavor. Seasonal vegetables and traditional Kyoto ingredients further complement the savory flavor of the wagyu. In addition to sukiyaki, shabu-shabu is available for a lighter way to appreciate the natural flavor of premium wagyu.

  A Blissful Meal with Carefully Selected Wagyu and Kyoto's Bounty

  Ingredients are selected with equal attention, including grilled tofu from "Toyoukeya Yamamoto," products from the more than 300-year-old "Hanbei-Fu," and "Ito Konnyaku" (konjac noodles) from "Fujisei" in Joyo City. Traditional vegetables such as aromatic "Kujo Green Onions," prized for their distinctive silky texture, and crisp "Kyo Mizuna" are also used, along with sweet onions from Awaji Island and thick, meaty shiitake mushrooms from Tokushima that resemble abalone. As the ingredients absorb the savory flavor of the wagyu, they add further depth to the sukiyaki.
