I went to Kyoto for work after a long time and made a reservation to visit a restaurant. I love rice so much, so I really like dishes that go well with rice. I like sukiyaki as much as I like eel. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very traditional Japanese, and I was guided to a private room which made me feel very comfortable. The staff explained everything in detail at the beginning, and then cooked the sukiyaki meat in a pot with sugar and soy sauce, carefully preparing each slice. It was so delicious that I couldn't help but say "delicious". I continued to be impressed as I ate the vegetables and meat.

I used this high-class meat restaurant for a business dinner. The atmosphere and decor have a Kyoto feel, which pleased the guests. I ordered sukiyaki. The first bite of meat was incredibly satisfying. Good meat really is different. The meat had flavor and sweetness. It's easy to see why this place gets fully booked so quickly.

First of all, the location of the restaurant is great with a nice atmosphere. The interior of the restaurant is also great, and the private rooms are top-notch. The only downside is that it's hard to get the attention of the staff even when you call them, haha. The meat is delicious, the vegetables are also tasty, and the sweet and tasty zarameshi (rice with sweet sauce) was surprisingly good. I thought I wouldn't be able to finish it, but I managed to do so. The egg and rice were so good that I didn't even need any more alcohol, just give me more rice! Of course, I had to order more meat too! Thank you for the feast!

As it gets colder, I always have a strong craving for sukiyaki (^-^). So this time, my friend and I went on a trip to Kyoto and visited "Iroha" ❤️. Kyoto was bustling with tourists from overseas, which was really nice to see. The sukiyaki was so satisfying (＾ω＾) We enjoyed it until we were completely full! I wonder how many more times I will go for sukiyaki this winter (o^^o)

My favorite sukiyaki restaurant in Kyoto! Of course, there are other high-end restaurants that are delicious, but this one has a great cost performance and the atmosphere of the tea house is lovely. The meat is always so delicious and melts in your mouth. Whenever I go to Kyoto, I always make a reservation and visit this place. The sukiyaki that starts with Zaramae is the most delicious. Just looking at the photos makes my mouth water! 😆

Kyoto / Pontocho - Sukiyaki Iroha - Sukiyaki 8,000 yen Sukiyaki is a dish that you "grill". When you eat sukiyaki in Kansai, you really feel it. Instead of simmering in the sukiyaki sauce, you just grill the meat with sugar and then quickly pour in soy sauce. We don't "stew", that's sukiyaki. Since my father is from Kansai, our family prefers the "grilling" style of sukiyaki. It's a blissful moment to enjoy the atmosphere of Pontocho while indulging in delicious thick slices of meat. You may need to order extra if you want to eat a lot, as the meat is usually served with about 2 slices per person. I ended up going to a second restaurant after this one haha ℹ️ Information from a visit in September 2022. #food #foods #foodie #foodporn #foodpic #foodpics #foodphotography #foodstagram #foodphoto #instagood #instafood #tonkatsu #retrip_gourmet #genic_food #fromgram #TokyoGirlsDepartment #Kyoto #KyotoGourmet #KyotoCafe #Kyobashi #KyobashiGourmet #KyotoJapan #KyotoTrip #KyotoTravel #sukiyaki #Sukiyaki #SukiyakiIroha #Pontocho

During my trip to Kyoto, I visited a sukiyaki restaurant. The restaurant is located on Kiyamachi Street, which has a traditional Kyoto atmosphere. I was able to enjoy my meal in a private room, which was nice. There was only one type of sukiyaki available, but the balance between lean meat and fat was good, making it easy to eat.

Zarame's sukiyaki is a nostalgic dish with meat larger than your face, creating a fantasy-like experience when paired with eggs. The young man who accompanied me on this journey showed a level of excitement I hadn't seen since he joined the company. If only we had some marbled meat, I couldn't help but think that it could resolve various conflicts.

I really wanted to eat sukiyaki, so I found this restaurant. It had a classy atmosphere and I was able to eat authentic sukiyaki. The private room had a calming atmosphere. They used sugar to cook the sukiyaki right in front of us. I would love to go to Kyoto again to eat sukiyaki here.

This is a very charming restaurant. The atmosphere is so nice that whenever I come to Kyoto, I feel like visiting it. First of all, the location is great. It is located in the middle of Pontocho, where adults can enjoy delicious food and drinks in a quiet and exciting atmosphere. As you pass through the sliding door, a cobblestone path leads to the entrance, where you take off your shoes for the first time. The attentive staff notice you right away and greet you. It feels like a private house, but inside it is spacious, and you are guided to a private room on the second floor. Last time, we were a party of two and were shown to a private room, and this time as well. Moreover, the room is large enough to accommodate about 8 people if tables are arranged. The spacious interior, with just the right amount of lighting, tatami mats, sliding doors, and a maroon round table, creates a feeling of traveling back to the Showa era, or rather, the end of the Edo period, in the atmosphere of Kyoto. You can choose from six types of dishes, such as sukiyaki, Mizutaki, Oyakodon, Shioyaki, and Amiyaki, but of course, we chose sukiyaki. When I asked, "Do regular customers switch to something other than sukiyaki?" the answer was, "No, sukiyaki is the most popular." The style is to grill the sugar on the pot, then pour the meat and sauce on it. The Maillard reaction, in which amino acids and sugars combine due to heat, creates a deliciously fragrant aroma. Naturally, the seasoning is slightly sweet, but that's the taste of sukiyaki. The meat is served in large slices for one person, with just the right amount of fat and a good melt-in-your-mouth texture. The vegetables are all fresh and crunchy, and the wheat gluten absorbs the broth and is very delicious. Not only is the taste delicious, but the atmosphere also enhances the flavor, making it a perfect example of a restaurant. I really love this place. Thank you for the meal.

[Store Information] A 4-minute walk from Gion-shijo Station. This longstanding sukiyaki restaurant was established in Meiji 44 after taking over a tea house that had been operating since the Edo period. You can enjoy Kansai-style sukiyaki in a space surrounded by a traditional Japanese atmosphere. [Interior Information/Recommended Scenes] Upon entering, you are greeted by Nakai-san in a traditional tea house setting, and then guided to a semi-private tatami room. The atmosphere of Japanese tradition really gives off a Kyoto vibe. This semi-private space is suitable for various occasions such as family gatherings, hanging out with friends, dates, or business entertainment. [Ordered Menu] - Sukiyaki ¥6000 We ordered a serving for 2 people, which came with 5 large slices of meat, 4 eggs, plenty of vegetables, and rice. Finally, they served fruits. Considering all that you get for 6000 yen, the cost performance is excellent! Nakai-san skillfully prepares the dish for you, ensuring a delicious meal without any mistakes. The meat is cooked on a hot iron pot with large grains of "goan" sugar instead of regular sugar. Then it's seasoned with a secret sauce. The meat is juicy and tender when mixed with the egg, and the rice is irresistibly good. The vegetables are cooked in the meat's fat, and the tofu soaked up all the flavors. Nakai-san then leaves the rest of the cooking to you. Cooking the meat yourself turned out to be quite challenging but surprisingly delicious. I truly felt Nakai-san's expertise. [Overall Impression] I had never tried Kansai-style sukiyaki before, and it was a delightful experience to taste the unique flavors and umami of the meat. The quality of the meal for the price was impressive. I will definitely visit again when I'm in Kyoto. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I never thought I could find such delicious sukiyaki at such a great cost performance in Kyoto! Eating sukiyaki in a private room in Pontocho was beyond my expectations! The Kansai-style sukiyaki allows you to enjoy the meat to the fullest! The meat was exquisite! And the price was not too high! I think it's a great place to casually enjoy the atmosphere of Kyoto!

I was hesitant between going to that place in Teramachi or Iroha-san, but I chose Iroha-san because I don't like expensive sukiyaki. The first bite with the firmness of the sugar made it taste stable. The wine was okay, but it might be just right for sukiyaki. The tatami room being a sunken kotatsu was very convenient. I will definitely come back.

This day, I finished work late and couldn't decide where to go. I happened to pass by Iroha and it looked empty, so I decided to have sukiyaki. However, when I entered the restaurant and was seated, I was informed that the last order is at 9pm. I checked the time and it was 15 minutes before. Since it was a course menu, I couldn't make additional orders. I wish they had informed me before entering. Anyway, I ordered additional items along with the course menu. I started with fish soup noodles, then quickly moved on to sukiyaki. Rice, miso soup, and dessert (two slices of orange) were served in no time. The waitress cooked the meat for us, but it was too fast. Even though we hadn't finished eating, she started cooking the next meat. The pace was too quick, and we finished eating in 45 minutes and left the restaurant. Maybe they wanted to close on time, but if that's the case, they should close at 10pm sharp. The taste was good, but considering the price, I was not satisfied with the portion size and the service.

I love the atmosphere of Pontocho, and I found a great restaurant there! They offer only 6 courses, including sukiyaki and yakiniku, all for 6000 yen. The friendly staff will cook everything for you. I ordered the sukiyaki, and the meat was so tender and flavorful. It felt like the meat was telling me, "Keep eating!" The sweet seasoning perfectly complemented the rich flavor of the meat and mixed with the egg in my mouth. The vegetables and tofu were also delicious, and the portion size was satisfying. The building itself has a history of over 100 years. Enjoy a delicious sukiyaki in such a charming atmosphere!

The sukiyaki in Pontocho was indeed Kansai-style, Kyoto-style. The way they first season only the meat in the pot with sugar is truly the taste of a long-established restaurant. However, the way they make the broth with the base was a bit disappointing. It seemed a little inferior to the Bib Gourmand in Kiyamachi. But the taste was solid, the number of rooms was also large, and it's a recommended restaurant. Thank you for the meal.

I visited Kyoto in November 2018 and had the opportunity to try Kansai-style sukiyaki for the first time! Unlike Kanto-style, Kansai-style sukiyaki is cooked while grilling, and it was delicious in its own way. [Restaurant Name] Sukiyaki Iroha Kitatei Located in Gion Shijo, in the Pontocho area! I love the atmosphere of Pontocho in Kyoto. [Interior] The restaurant is in a traditional house with many private rooms. The tatami mats and tables create a very cozy and traditional ambiance. [Food & Drinks] Since I had been drinking a lot in Kyoto, I decided to have oolong tea to enjoy the sukiyaki! - Sukiyaki 6000 yen The meal includes a small appetizer, sukiyaki, rice, and dessert. The appetizer was octopus with mustard vinegar miso, which was delicious. The sukiyaki was prepared by the chef. The meat was first grilled with sugar and then dipped in sauce before eating. It was delicious! Then, the vegetables were cooked with the meat. It has a different charm compared to Kanto-style sukiyaki. I could have eaten multiple bowls of rice. You can also order additional meat if needed. It was a great experience to try Kansai-style sukiyaki for the first time. I would love to come back again. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I visited Kyoto for the first time in about 20 years. I didn't have much time for food exploring, but since I couldn't find a good ramen shop, I decided to make my lunch theme saba sushi. For dinner, I had only one day, so my junior colleague made a reservation for us. It was located in the middle of Pontocho. There are many nice restaurants around here. When we entered, it was a pure Japanese-style tatami room. Although they had salt-grilled and oil-grilled dishes, we decided to go with sukiyaki. We were served octopus and cucumber with miso vinegar first, while waiting for the meat. And here it is - huge! It may not look like it in the picture, but it's quite large. At home, it would definitely be served in less than half the size. Sprinkling the sugar on top, we grilled the meat. Once it was about 70% cooked, we added the sauce and simmered it a bit, leaving some rare parts, and then it was ready to eat. It was delicious, with the perfect amount of marbling and not too heavy. It's Kyoto beef, and it's amazing. We also grilled the vegetables together, and it was really tasty. At home, we don't usually add wheat gluten, but it was so good here. Do you usually add onions? We add them only when we run out of green onions at home, but here they come as default. We ended up having about 3.5 pieces of meat each, and we were completely satisfied with the size and thickness. We finished with some fruits. The basic price for 2 pieces of meat is 6000 yen, which may seem expensive, but most women would be satisfied with 2 pieces. It's a great deal to have Kyoto beef sukiyaki at this price around Gion. I will definitely come back here when I visit Kyoto again.

On March 18, 2017, I had dinner at Sukiyaki Iroha Kitatei in Pontocho. The main branch is located at the south entrance of Pontocho (currently closed as of 2021), and this branch is located on the north side. The restaurant has a traditional Kyoto-style exterior and interior. We were seated in a tatami room and gathered around the pot. The quality of the sukiyaki meat was excellent. The prices are reasonable for Pontocho. However, the portion size may be a bit small for men.

During my trip to Kyoto, I visited a sukiyaki restaurant called "Iroha Kita." I love the charming and beautiful streets of Kyoto, and I prefer sukiyaki over yakiniku. On the last night of my Kyoto trip, while strolling through the rainy streets of Gion, I stumbled upon a nice sukiyaki restaurant. After checking on Tabelog, it seemed like a great place to eat! So, without making a reservation, I decided to visit. Luckily, there was a vacant table available, and I was guided to my seat. The interior of the restaurant had a Kyoto-like atmosphere, and you could enjoy sukiyaki in private rooms. The staff, who were veterans, provided excellent service. The private rooms were very elegant and spacious. The sukiyaki set here was very reasonably priced. I ordered the 6000 yen sukiyaki set that day. The staff skillfully cooked the sukiyaki for me. The meat, sweetened with sugar and soy sauce, perfectly matched my taste. The meat was large and melted in my mouth. When dipped in the egg, it was simply amazing! It disappeared in no time. You can also add more meat, so I naturally ordered more. Eating sukiyaki in such a wonderful atmosphere made it taste even better. I definitely want to visit again when I go to Kyoto!
