On July 8, 2021, I made a reservation and went for lunch at "Jojoen," which opened on the 7th floor of JR Kyoto Isetan. I visited thinking it was a yakiniku restaurant in a department store, and I was pleasantly surprised by the idea of having yakiniku in a department store. I went for lunch with my wife and second son. We were seated quite deep inside the restaurant, with a 1.3m high wall separating us from the neighboring table. The location with a view of Kyoto Tower right in front of us was excellent. We ordered the following dishes: Mixed Lunch - 3800 yen (tax included) [Jojoen Salad, Namul, Rice, Soup, Dessert, Drink] [Yakiniku - Lean Roast, Kalbi, Shrimp] Select Lunch - 5700 yen (tax included) [Jojoen Salad, Namul, Rice, Soup, Dessert, Drink] [Yakiniku - Premium Roast, Top Kalbi, Tongue Salt] Meat Harami - 29000 yen (tax included) Bibim Men (small) - 1150 yen (tax included) Ordering dishes for 3 people at a 4-person table made it difficult to eat comfortably and grill the meat properly. The meat was delicious and of good quality. I appreciated the clear differentiation. However, the atmosphere was slightly different from Yugentei in Shijo. The Bibim Men with soba flour was delicious, but the portion was small. On the 7th floor of Isetan, there is a children's clothing section, and near the entrance of Jojoen, there is an underwear section. Even with a mask on, you can still smell the delicious aroma of yakiniku as you get closer. There is a 10% discount for JR Kyoto Isetan members, which added to the overall value of the experience.
