I went to Gyuzen in Gion. It's right in front of Yasaka Shrine. The interior of the restaurant has a high ceiling and a modern atmosphere. I had all-you-can-eat beef, premium pork, vegetables, rice cakes, tofu, and udon. Even though I don't drink much, I also had beer. The beef and pork were delicious. I especially enjoyed the beef with sesame sauce, the sweetness and richness were delightful. The pork, vegetables, tofu, rice cakes were also tasty. We finished with udon, which was perfect in the hot pot. Thank you for the meal. I would love to go again.

On Sunday, around 4 pm, I called the restaurant to make a reservation for 9 pm. I requested the special selection beef (US beef) sukiyaki and shabu-shabu set for one person. When I arrived at the restaurant on the 4th floor of Gion Kaikan, diagonally across from Yasaka Shrine, at 9 pm, there were 6-8 other customers waiting. I informed the receptionist about my reservation, and she promptly seated me at the end of the counter. It's nice to be seated at the end when dining alone. There was a pot on the gas stove where you could cook sukiyaki and shabu-shabu at the same time. As soon as I sat down, the meat, vegetables, and sukiyaki egg were served. The staff explained everything clearly. There were ponzu sauce, sesame sauce, and dipping sauce for sukiyaki in front of me, along with shichimi spice. The meat plate consisted of top sirloin on top and beef belly below, each about 150g. The vegetables included Chinese cabbage, bean sprouts, green onions, and shirataki noodles. The portion was just right for one person. They lit the fire, and I started cooking the vegetables. Although there was a drink-all-you-can plan for an additional fee (1500 yen), it required a minimum of 3 people, so I opted out. I ordered a premium malt draft beer separately. It was served in a glass of about 350ml, not a pint size. I had two glasses. Normally, two pints of beer would make me a bit tipsy, but with this glass size, it was just right. The meat was delicious, and there was a variety of vegetables. However, because sukiyaki is rich in flavor, I couldn't eat a lot, so I thought shabu-shabu alone would have been enough. I added a few more vegetables, got a refill of meat once, ate the udon noodles for the finale, and finished with a separate charge for matcha ice cream and yuzu sherbet. I was satisfied! The restaurant was spacious, with high ceilings and a comfortable atmosphere. I will definitely come back!

The service was quick and the dishes were served promptly after ordering. It was an all-you-can-eat course and all the dishes were delicious.

The birthday plate was really great. Thanks to it, I was able to surprise and make the person happy!

You can enjoy two types of hot pots, shabu-shabu and sukiyaki, as well as meat nigiri sushi and dessert like matcha ice cream. The food is delicious, the staff is friendly, and I would definitely revisit this restaurant when I'm in Kyoto again.

You can taste the deliciousness of the meat here by trying the Japanese Black Wagyu. Other options are cost-effective, so they are decent.

Ideal for large groups who want to have a lively time. However, the warabi mochi dessert was not very impressive.

The quality of the meat was good for an all-you-can-eat, and there were more side dishes available than expected. The private room atmosphere was also great.

Mr. Hayashi's place is great! I can't go to places like this alone. Lol

The atmosphere was great and the food was delicious♪

The all-you-can-eat option had great taste and a sophisticated, calm atmosphere. I was impressed and had a good impression.

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience.

I would like the meat to be sliced a little thinner!

I had the impression that all-you-can-eat restaurants would be crowded, so I made a reservation just in case. As a result, our reserved seats were empty around us, and the neighboring seats were filled with Asian tourists. We ordered the premium beef shabu-shabu and crab shabu-shabu. The beef was tender and delicious, and the crab was a bit of a hassle to peel, but the vegetable simmered in the crab broth was tasty. Since my partner and I can't eat a lot, we didn't eat much beef, which was a bit disappointing. I realized that I need to consider the amount of food we can eat when choosing a restaurant in the future. Overall, it was a good memory of our trip. (laughs)

The location is right in front of Yasaka Shrine in Gion, at a building called Gion Kaikan where there used to be a disco. There is also Yoshimoto Kogyo in the building. The building itself shows its age a bit, and the shops inside have a nostalgic feel. It has a pretty large capacity. However, Kyoto is currently experiencing a peak tourist season, so advance reservations are recommended. This time, we used it for a year-end party with a crab and shabu-shabu all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink course. I didn't have high expectations due to the price, but I was pleasantly surprised. The crab was unexpectedly juicy and had a good texture. The meat was also fairly delicious. Although there was no draft beer in the all-you-can-drink menu, there were other options available. Looking around, everyone was enjoying different courses. The variety of courses was quite satisfying. I feel like coming back next time for a yakiniku course. The staff were all efficient and some were fluent in foreign languages. The service was also top-notch.
