Today, I was in the mood for meat so I had lunch at Hiro Shoten. I chose the new explosive lunch menu item! It seems like the hamburger, which has been a signature dish at Hiro Shoten Karasuma-Kyogoku since its opening, has been added to the lunch menu lineup this time! The "Stone-Grilled Wagyu Explosive Lunch" for 1000 yen including tax features sizzling meat fats popping on the hot stone grill for bibimbap. When you add the accompanying yakiniku sauce-like condiment, it enhances the flavor even more, so make sure to protect yourself with the provided apron! Just the sound of it sizzling is appetizing, right? The hamburger is cooked rare inside, so they recommended cooking the rare part on the stone grill before eating. The large, round hamburger is soft even when you cut into it, and juices flow out as you do. While maintaining the texture of minced beef, you can enjoy the richness and satisfaction of 100% beef that melts in your mouth. Despite not using pork, the meat is tender, and because pork is not used, the fat is not overpowering, making you want to have another one with ease. The sauce is a sweet, fruity yakiniku-style sauce, and being grilled on the stone creates a nice balance of sweetness and bitterness. You can change the size of the rice for free, and for 1000 yen flat, this taste was very satisfying! Thank you for the meal!

The lunch here is great value for money. The sliced kalbi lunch is 1,000 yen including tax, and the harami lunch is also 1,000 yen including tax. The kalbi was thick and very delicious. It's hard to believe it's only 1,000 yen. I would definitely like to come back again. Thank you for the meal!

There is a restaurant located a 5-minute walk from Karasuma Station on the Hankyu Kyoto Line, near Nishiki Market. They offer a lunch set that seems like a good deal, so I chose the Top Sirloin Lunch Set for 1,500 yen! It came with two large pieces of top sirloin, so big that they overflowed from the grill (laughs). They were cooked perfectly! Tender and delicious! You can also choose from large, medium, or small rice portions! It's delicious and filling! Definitely worth a visit!

I tried yakiniku and hamburger for the first time at a yakiniku restaurant for lunch. Yakiniku restaurants are usually open for dinner, so for those who don't usually dine out at night, yakiniku may not be a common choice. Hiro-san has several stores in Kyoto, and I have had hamburg steak and chicken steak set at HIRO Kyoto Yodobashi store on the 6th floor of Kyoto Yodobashi during lunch. This time, we decided to visit Kyoto Nishiki, a place where you can enjoy both yakiniku and hamburgers. We were a party of two, and my partner wanted to try both hamburg steak and harami, so we ordered the upper thigh lean sliced lunch, harami lunch, and stone-cooked Japanese beef lunch. The staff was surprised by our order. All lunches come with salad, diced kimchi, wakame soup, and rice. You can choose from three sizes of rice - large, medium, or small - for the same price. Upper thigh lean sliced lunch (1,500 yen): I mainly had this. The thinly sliced lean meat was very tender, with a low fat content and a concentrated meaty flavor. It's easy to order from a wide range of people due to its low fat content. Harami lunch (1,000 yen): I shared this with my partner. It has more fat than the upper thigh, but it was not heavy on the stomach at all after eating. The meaty flavor was also concentrated, and it was tender and delicious. It seems that the gram weight is 100g when ordered individually, which is around 90g, and it might be a good idea to order the lunch set without hesitation if it's only about 30 yen more. Stone-cooked Japanese beef lunch (1,000 yen): My partner had this. I took a bite, and as expected from a meat restaurant, the meaty flavor is rich. It comes in a rare state, but my partner prefers it to be cooked well, so he grilled it a bit on the stove. It's amazing that the juices don't drip. In terms of quantity, the upper thigh is just right, but the hamburger and harami might be a bit small for an average man. If there are two men, it might be a good idea to order one more dish a la carte. In any case, Hiro's meat has never disappointed me, so I think it's quite a good deal to have lunch there.

No matter how many times I visit, I am always impressed by the high quality of this yakiniku restaurant. In particular, the beef tongue is incredibly tender and juicy, melting in your mouth - truly exquisite. Every item on the menu is carefully crafted, never failing to meet expectations. The lemon sour has a refreshing taste, with the lemon peel inside adding a nice touch, enhancing the dining experience even more. The service at this restaurant is also wonderful, and I want to express my heartfelt gratitude.

Kuma Log 3.8‍❄️ On Monday, my junior colleague, Hanzo, came on a business trip from Wakayama, so I invited Yuji and Shishimaru to "Yakiniku Hiro Shoten Karasuma-Kinki." We enjoyed a boat platter with rare cuts, hormone mix, stone-grilled Wagyu bakudan hamburger, stone-grilled bibimbap, cold noodles, and everything was super delicious‍❄️ #Yakiniku #YakinikuDinner #YakinikuInstagram #Hormone #YakinikuHiro #YakinikuHiroShoten #YakinikuHiroShotenKarasumaKinki #ShijoKarasuma #ShijoKarasumaGourmet #ShijoKarasumaDinner #ShijoKarasumaYakiniku #KyotoYakiniku #KyotoYakinikuDinner #Kyoto #KyotoGourmet #KyotoDinner #RawHormone #HormoneMix #BoatPlatter #RareCuts #Hamburger #ColdNoodles #StoneGrilledBibimbap #Kimchi

It was the weekend, and without a reservation, we were turned away from this casual and lively izakaya-style restaurant, Hiro. It has a fun and lively atmosphere. It might be the most casual among the Hiro branches. It's better to think that the atmosphere is completely different from the other branches. It could be just right for a casual visit.

I had been curious about the curry rice at the yakiniku restaurant for a while, and finally tried it! The Gochumon beef tendon curry is mild and delicious when mixed with egg and minced meat. But since it's a yakiniku restaurant, I added hormone as a topping (lol). The sizzling and chewy hormone cooked on the grill is a perfect match with the curry.

The harami lunch set for 1000 yen. Good quality and good cost performance. It's truly amazing that the harami is delicious and filling at this price. However, it was a bit chaotic how the menu items were brought out. The seating spacing was decent, so it could also be a good option for evening visits.

Visited with family for dinner. The yukhoe came in a bento-like package? Perhaps for hygiene reasons? The meat boat platter was different every day, with various parts to enjoy. The mixed offal today included liver, honeycomb tripe, skirt steak, tetchan, and omasum. I had the impression that mixed offal would be all mixed up, but here each type was distinct and flavorful. Finished off with sliced loin wrapped in Kujo green onion salad!! It was amazing. Ate all this at a reasonable price and it was delicious.

I wanted to have yakiniku for lunch... so I entered the restaurant! I had the harami lunch set (909 yen excluding tax) and also tried the yukke! The harami lunch set was just amazing in terms of cost performance! It came with rice (choice of small, medium, large), salad, soup, and the meat was tender and delicious! Plus, the fact that this deal is available until 5:30 p.m. during lunchtime makes it really worth it! I will definitely come back again! Thank you for the meal!

I often go to this restaurant for lunch and dinner because it's close to my place. I usually dine alone during lunchtime. The lunch menu is all highly recommended. On this day, I had the Dynamite Cheese Hamburger Lunch Set (1050 yen). They serve lunch until 5 p.m.! Many solo female diners are enjoying their meals here, sizzling away. Highly recommended!

The best yakiniku for lunch prices! I had the yakiniku lunch last time, and this time I tried the Bomb Hamburg with everything on top - egg and cheese! It's 1100 yen✌ Comes with miso soup, rice, and salad. The hamburg in the stone pot is still half-raw! Cook it to your liking in the pot until it's sizzling! Juicy and tender meat with sweet fatty flavor. They also have tripe hot pot lunch and curry lunch. Definitely going back again! Planning to conquer all their lunch menus!

During the pandemic, many famous restaurants have continued their lunch service and have been working hard on their lunch menus, which is great, right? I was curious if this place was doing the same, and finally came for lunch for the first time! I came for the stone-grilled Hamburg lunch. It costs 1050 yen including tax with cheese topping. It's made with 100% Japanese beef. It comes with salad, rice, soup, and pickles. You can pour the sauce yourself. The hamburger itself is quite rare when it comes out, so you can cook it to your liking. Even when it's rare, it's fluffy, and when cooked thoroughly, the surface on the stone grill is crispy and delicious. I highly recommend this. Thank you for the meal!

Since I found out about this place, I've been wanting to eat here so badly, and finally, I made it here‼️ I ordered the long-awaited "Japanese beef tendon stew minced curry" for 850 yen, with an additional topping of beef harami & juicy beef hormone for 400 yen, bringing the total to 1250 yen. You get to grill the harami and hormone yourself❗️ The curry arrives at the table a bit later, so you need to grill quickly or the curry will get cold~! Once it's grilled, they serve it to you with a bang! The egg is nice and runny... looks delicious~‼️ It's a bit pricey because it's a combination of yakiniku and curry, but once you see something so delicious, you just can't resist, right? Let's dig in♪ The curry is sweet at first, then a bit spicy later! There's plenty of meat inside that makes you think, "Is this tendon?" The juicy minced meat on top of the rice! The slightly spicy sauce coats it well, and the finely minced meat shows just the right juiciness of the meat! It's delicious even without any toppings. Additionally, the self-grilled harami is fragrant...! The hormone is also sweet. The sweetness of the meat itself, the slight spiciness of the sauce, and the sweet and spicy curry flavors make the taste go back and forth♪ This is a must-try again. I'm also curious about their new product, the Japanese beef stone-grilled hamburger✨

Popular restaurant in Kyoto, known for yakiniku - Hiro Shoten. Visited with my family of three for weekend lunch. Made a reservation for 11:30 AM and arrived on time. Ordered the following from the lunch menu: Harami Lunch for 1,000 yen, Ue-Momo Akami Sliced Lunch for 1,500 yen x 2, and two bottles of beer (Kirin, Asahi) with one being draft beer. Chose a medium size for the rice. The lunch came with salad, daikon kimchi, and wakame soup. The harami I ordered had a sauce flavor, while the thin-sliced Ue-Momo my wife and daughter ordered was large and cooked quickly. They cut it with scissors at the table. My daughter enjoyed dipping it in broth and eating the yakiniku with rice.

When it comes to yakiniku in Kyoto, this restaurant near Karasuma, Yakiniku Hiro-san, seems to have relatively affordable prices. I think I've been here about 5 times in the past year for both lunch and dinner. It's a great deal and the taste is good! The <Raw Hormone MIX Lunch> is priced at 909 yen (excluding tax) and comes with raw hormone mix, highball or rice, kimchi, salad, wakame soup, and complimentary tea served in large glasses with plastic pitchers for refills on each table. I really like these thoughtful touches. The restaurant is also very clean, which I think is quite impressive for a yakiniku place as many tend to feel a bit greasy. I chose the highball with the hormone mix lunch this time. It's great that you can order this lunch set from 11:30 to 17:00. It's hard to find places for daytime drinking in Kyoto during those hours compared to Osaka, so it's really convenient in that sense. The hormone mix was really fresh and delicious. I also ordered kalbi and makgeolli (plus one more drink? I forgot), so the total bill was 2,300 yen (including tax). The kalbi was also delicious. It's so nice to enjoy delicious meat and drinks at such a reasonable price. Thank you for the meal!!

From August to September, there is a series of meaty showdowns, the Meaty Showdown Part 2. This time, it's the 30th challenge, featuring a hamburger topic. I ordered the Stone-Grilled Wagyu Hamburg Lunch for 1,000 yen at "Yakiniku Koshoten Karasuma-Kinki" in Kyoto. It's a lunch set with a 100% Wagyu stone-grilled hamburger.
