After a long time, I went to Kyoto for lunch and had some meat. ✨ Domestic beef comparison ~lunch~ ¥2,480 (tax included) • Meat Rose Roast Beef Bowl • Tan Yukke Bowl • Beef Stew Bowl • Miso Soup • Pickles Three voluminous bowls to choose from. The roast beef is made from A5 grade Japanese rib roast, seared to your liking right in front of you with a burner. It's tender and juicy. You can enjoy it with salt or sauce for a flavor change. The beef stew bowl is filled with eggs. Finish it off with grated yam for a refreshing taste. The yukke is thinly hand-cut at 1mm, soft and tender. Mix it with egg yolk for a creamy texture. It's nice to be able to enjoy various flavors at once. I was deliciously full. You can choose from large, medium, or small rice portions. There are also individual bowl options, but I recommend the comparison set for those who want to enjoy a variety. Although I was full, I couldn't resist the dessert - fluffy mitarashi dango. It's said that it's best to eat it within 20 seconds of receiving it. Hurry up. The soy sauce-based sauce is delicious when freshly grilled. The take-out dango had a long line. It's a convenient location, just a 5-minute walk from Yasaka Shrine, perfect for tourists in the area.

I went to a popular dessert shop in Gion! Located in Higashiyama Ward, the tea house Wakana Dango is known for its limited lunch set called "Japanese Beef Comparison - lunch" for 2480 yen, with only 30 servings available. You can try "Nai Bara" Roast Beef Don, Tan Yukke Don, and Beef Kakuni Don all at once. The Roast Beef Don is beautifully shaped like a rose and torched by the staff, giving it a delicious aroma. The Tan Yukke Don has a rich texture when mixed with the egg yolk, and the Beef Kakuni Don is incredibly flavorful and tender, with a generous portion. Their signature dango and shaved ice are also popular, so be sure to check them out. It was incredibly delicious, thank you for the feast!

I went to Kyoto Saryo Kazami and tried the domestic beef lunch set for 2480 yen (tax included), limited to 30 servings per day. It includes three types of domestic beef bowls: A5 rank black wagyu sirloin roast beef bowl, beef tongue tartare bowl, and beef stew bowl, along with grated yam, miso soup, and three pickles. Among the three, the most delicious one was the beef stew bowl. The stewed beef was very tender and flavorful, and it paired perfectly with the grated yam. I'm not a big fan of boiled eggs, but the seasoning of the egg here was delicious. Despite the cute appearance of the three-bowl set, the portions were generous and would be satisfying even for those with a big appetite. The restaurant is located at 476-2 Shimokawaramachi, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto City. Access: Approximately 11 minutes on foot from Keihan Main Line "Gion Shijo Station", approximately 15 minutes on foot from Hankyu Kyoto Line "Kyoto Kawaramachi Station". Business hours: Lunch 11:00-14:00 (L.O. 13:30), Dango (sweet rice dumplings) 14:00-18:00 (L.O. 17:30). Closed on: No regular holidays.

I always thought of this place as a busy dumpling shop, but never expected to come here for lunch (lol). And on top of that, I didn't even realize I needed a reservation until I arrived (haha). The shop is small and cozy, and the staff are all young and energetic! They were so kind and attentive, making the atmosphere really pleasant. The beef tasting set was just the right size for a woman, delicious, and looked great too. I had a wonderful time.

I tried a domestic beef comparison lunch for 2480 yen in Kyoto. You can enjoy three types of dishes: Tan Yukke, Meat Bara Roast Beef Don, and Beef Kakuni! Tan Yukke was delicious especially with the egg yolk. Mixing the meat, egg, and sauce was heavenly. The Meat Bara Roast Beef Don was seared to my liking right in front of me. I had it rare and it was amazing with the special sauce. The Beef Kakuni was simmered perfectly and so tender that it melted in my mouth. When topped with grated nagaimo yam, it had an elegant taste. It was a satisfying meal and I left feeling happy.

(Limited to 30 meals per day) Japanese Beef Tasting Lunch ¥2480 At Kyoto Station, after visiting Yasaka Shrine, heading south, you will see a charming dumpling shop called "Saryo Wakana," which is a popular sweets shop known for its dumplings and shaved ice. This time, I visited in a yukata for lunch. The restaurant has a total of 17 seats, including counter and table seats, all non-smoking. There is a baby chair available, and it's fun to watch them grill the fluffy Mitarashi dumplings on charcoal while you wait. Upon entering the restaurant, the cozy atmosphere makes you feel like you're in a French garden, and the sweat starts to fade away. The jazz music playing inside reminds me of the jazz cafes I used to frequent with my friends in Kyoto. The sophisticated staff serves you like French waiters. The highlight of the meal was the extravagant lunch menu where you can enjoy three popular beef bowls on one tray. The most eye-catching dish is the beef rose roast beef bowl, where A5 rank Wagyu beef is seared with a burner right in front of you, from rare to well-done. Next is the delicious Tan Yukke bowl topped with an egg. Since it's a sister store of a high-end yakiniku restaurant, you get a luxurious and satisfying bowl like a rose of Versailles. And the third dish is the tender simmered pork belly bowl, which is topped with beautiful yellow shredded eggs and served with simple yet sweet and savory simmered pork that has a strong presence. Adding the perfectly matched grated nagaimo yam on top gives it a refreshing taste. For foreigners, the grated nagaimo yam may be a mysterious Japanese food that leaves a lasting memory of their travels. The meat-focused lunch with meticulous attention to detail at Saryo will surely captivate the taste buds of guests beyond borders. Noteworthy is the beautiful dark orange "Orange Egg," made from eggs produced by chickens raised stress-free with natural feed such as Neccarich, daikon leaves, chitosan, linseed oil, green tea, beer yeast, seaweed, rice bran, calcium, garlic, and lactic acid bacteria. The concept of "connecting people through eggs" is wonderful. It's worth paying attention to the fact that they use such amazing eggs that are not available in regular households. Whether it's a girls' trip or a couple's trip from overseas, Saryo promises a small happiness along with a blend of traditional and modern Japanese scenes, warming hearts with its hospitality.

☆Matcha shaved ice☆ In front of me, it was cooked with a burner, caramelized, topped with chestnut sweetened red bean paste and matcha espuma, and served with condensed milk. Inside, there were matcha-flavored chocolate and cream cheese, which made it enjoyable without getting tired of it. ☆Soft and fluffy mitarashi dango☆ The fluffy mochi, with a sweet soy sauce glaze, is best enjoyed within 20 seconds. ☆Yomogi dango☆ Best enjoyed hot, the simple taste of this dish is delightful. Thank you for the meal.

Last year, I had the opportunity to go for shaved ice with Wakaana-san, and this year I visited for a lunch that I was curious about. "Domestic Beef Tasting ~lunch~" Limited to 30 servings per day, ¥2,480 (includes miso soup, side dish, grated nagaimo) ◻︎ Meat Bara Roast Beef Bowl A roast beef bowl made with beautiful A5 grade Japanese beef sirloin. After serving, you can sear it to your liking. It's tender and very juicy! You can enjoy a luxurious taste with plenty of meat umami.

It was a satisfying tasting lunch filled with elegance and charm unique to Kyoto!

I finally visited a shop that I had been curious about for a long time. I had the mitarashi dango, but for some reason I didn't take any photos. The outside was crispy and the inside was fluffy, and they recommend eating the first bite within 1 minute. The sauce was not too sweet and very delicious. The shaved ice had a chocolate mint flavor, which was not too strong, and it was fluffy. Next time, I want to try the meat lunch. The shop is not very big, so if you make a reservation, you can be smoothly guided to your table.

I made a reservation for a shaved ice visit. The limited shaved ice for Instagram followers only was really delicious. The food service was perfect, but the customer service was a bit lacking. There is a discount for posting on social media, but the poor internet connection in the restaurant made it impossible to post and get the discount. The response at that time was also not great. It seems like this place is only worth visiting when they have the shaved ice you're looking for.

Kyoto, Higashiyama, 14 minutes walk from Gion Shijo Station, there is a restaurant called "Saryo Wakana". Located in Kyoto's bustling Gion Higashiyama area, this restaurant offers a luxurious lunch featuring a comparison of dishes made with domestic beef.

The restaurant offers a lunch set called "Domestic Beef Comparison - lunch - (limited to 30 servings per day for ¥2,480)" which includes choices like Tan Yukke Don, Meat Rose Roast Beef Don, and Beef Kakuni Don, along with miso soup, pickles, and grated nagaimo. The highlight was the "Meat Rose Roast Beef Don" made with A5 rank wagyu rib roast, which is seared in front of you by the staff. I chose mine to be well-done, and the aroma of the fat was amazing. The "Tan Yukke Don" was rich and flavorful, especially when mixed with the raw egg yolk. And the "Beef Kakuni Don" was simmered to perfection, topped with grated yam. The combination of the tender beef, sweet flavor, and sticky grated yam was absolutely delicious. Overall, it was a satisfying and filling lunch. The restaurant is also known for its popular shaved ice dessert called "Saku Fua Mitarashi". I highly recommend visiting this place when in Kyoto. Enjoy your meal!

I had a lunch where I compared three different types of domestic beef dishes. Yukke bowl, roast beef bowl, and simmered beef bowl! The roast beef bowl was seared right in front of me! So luxurious~ The portions were quite generous, more than they appeared, and I was really full. Each bowl had a strong umami flavor of the meat and was delicious! I recommend it not only to tourists but also to people in Kyoto!

It was my first visit to the tea house Wakana in Higashiyama, Kyoto! It's a bit far from Gion Shijo, so taking a bus to Kiyomizu would be the easiest way to get there. I drove there and parked in a parking lot very close to the shop. Today, I ordered the following menu item: a domestic beef tasting lunch for 2480 yen (tax included). The lunch details are as follows: - Meat Rose Roast Beef Bowl - Tan Yukke Bowl - Beef Stew Bowl It's a trendy tasting bowl that I've been wanting to try, so I was excited when I ordered it. The first impression was "cute! Instagrammable! Looks delicious." I had never eaten a lunch set like this before, so I thought the portions might be small. The Meat Rose Roast Beef Bowl is seared in front of you after it's brought to the table. It's definitely delicious! The Yukke Bowl and Roast Beef Bowl come with sauce for you to add for a different flavor. The Beef Stew Bowl comes with grated yam for a lighter option. The amount of rice and toppings is generous for the price of 2500 yen. The value for money is great! The location of the restaurant may not be the most convenient, but it's a popular spot. We made a reservation and when we arrived after 12 o'clock, there were already people waiting outside. It's a popular place, so if you go on a holiday, a reservation is recommended. The interior of the restaurant is very clean and spacious. There are several table seats lined up side by side, which I personally liked. The staff were very helpful and explained the dishes clearly and politely, allowing us to enjoy our meal at a leisurely pace. If you're looking for lunch in Gion, I highly recommend Wakana!

A must-have for anyone is a gourmet friend! Following the recommendation of my gourmet friend from Kansai, I headed straight to Kyoto to visit [Saryo Wakana]. Located in the Higashiyama area, near Yasaka Pagoda and Kodai-ji Temple, this traditional townhouse cafe is just a 10-minute walk from Gion-Shijo Station on the Keihan Main Line. This time, I was there for their affordable lunch set. The lunch set I ordered was the "Domestic Beef Tasting ~lunch~" for 2480 yen (tax included). It includes a tasting of three different beef bowls: Tan Yukke bowl, Meat Rose Roast Beef bowl, and Beef Stew bowl. The set also comes with miso soup, pickles, and grated yam. The Meat Rose Roast Beef bowl features A5 rank Wagyu rib roast, adorned with a rose made of beef. You can choose to have it seared to your liking. I had mine seared medium rare, and the fatty roast beef melted in my mouth. The Tan Yukke bowl consists of thinly sliced beef tongue mixed with Korean seaweed, rich egg yolk, and a special original sauce. The Beef Stew bowl is made by simmering beef tendons in a special sauce until they become tender, then served with grated yam. All three bowls were delicious and it was hard to pick a favorite. The balance with the rice was perfect, and I finished every last bite. I really enjoyed it and I look forward to trying their freshly baked rice cakes next time.

To @wakana.dango in Kyoto Higashiyama ☺️ A restaurant I've always wanted to visit◡̈︎*♚︎‧*˚✩︎‧₊˚ I had a luxurious lunch where you can compare different types of delicious meat, perfect for meat lovers.

The egg yolk was rich and the quality of the eggs used was evident. - Beef Cheek Stew Bowl: The stewed beef cheek was melt-in-your-mouth tender and paired perfectly with the flavorful egg. This lunch is limited to 30 servings per day, so I recommend going early. You can also order the bowls separately if you're in the mood for a hearty meal. @wakana.dango is famous for their dango, but their meat lunch was also delicious. Located near places like Kodai-ji Temple, it's a great stop for foodies.

Cost performance: ★★★★☆ Budget: ¥1000-¥3000 Atmosphere: It has a trendy cafe vibe that is very popular among women. Japanese beef comparison lunch set (¥2480) includes three mini-donburi bowls: Meat Rose Roast Beef Donburi, Tan Yukke Donburi, and Beef Kakuni Donburi. The set comes with miso soup and guarantees satisfaction. The portion sizes are not too big, so even women should be able to enjoy them. 1. Meat Rose Roast Beef Donburi: Rib roast beef with plenty of marbling is beautifully arranged in a rose shape on rice and torched with a burner. It is incredibly delicious and lives up to the high expectations. A stable and satisfying choice that will make you smile. 2. Tan Yukke Donburi: Thinly sliced tongue meat is generously sprinkled on top, along with Korean seaweed and a fresh egg yolk from carefully selected young chickens. Mix it all together with rice for a delightful experience. However, there is a slight frozen feel to it that might be a bit disappointing. 3. Beef Kakuni Donburi: The flavor of the simmered kakuni (braised beef) sauce seeps into the rice. The idea of pairing it with grated yam is excellent. The texture and flavor balance are exquisite, leaving you wanting more. Overall, it is an impressive mini-donburi lunch set with three distinctly delicious options that won't bore you. You can easily enjoy all three bowls without feeling too full. You can also buy dango (sweet rice dumplings) at the counter outside. Although I didn't have the chance to try it this time, it would probably be a perfect dessert option! It's a bit of a walk from Kyoto Station, but if you happen to pass by Gion, be sure to visit this place. *Announcement* I also have an Instagram account!!!
