I went to Tsumugi in Gion Shijo, Kyoto! I didn't go for a course meal, but ordered individual items. I had the following: Sendai beef Chateaubriand, Sendai beef tongue sashimi, assorted rare cuts, tail soup, Sendai beef tongue with salt, premium seared sirloin yukhoe, potato salad with Wagyu beef, bibimbap, Wagyu beef tongue sushi, Wagyu beef sushi of the day, egg soup, rice, and dessert (pine sherbet). The Sendai beef Chateaubriand was amazing - tender, fine-grained, and flavorful. The assorted rare cuts (rump, rib roast, flank) had a good amount of marbling, giving them a delicious taste. The salted tongue had a unique texture and rich flavor. The tongue sashimi was also excellent. Other dishes like the seared sirloin yukhoe, potato salad, and tail soup were delicious too. The potato salad with Wagyu beef was particularly tasty. The side dishes and drinks were also great. The restaurant has a Western-style interior with a marble counter and luxurious private table seats, making it suitable for special occasions or anniversaries.

I visited a fantastic and luxurious restaurant in Gion, Kyoto. This restaurant just opened in May in Gion, and it exudes a sense of exclusivity. The interior is very luxurious, creating a wonderful atmosphere to enjoy charcoal-grilled yakiniku. I tried the "紡 course" for ¥13,200 (tax included, service charge 5% not included). The meal started with an amuse-bouche of Kyoto's Hisazaiya tofu and Kyoto-produced Yamada Seiyu extra virgin sesame oil with homemade red wine salt. The tofu had a delicate flavor with a hint of the extra virgin sesame oil, and the red wine salt complemented it perfectly. The appetizers included top-grade domestic ostrich fillet seared, black wagyu yukhoe, and homemade kimchi. The ostrich meat had no odor and tasted similar to lean fish. The yukhoe was beautifully presented and deliciously rich. The kimchi made with nagaimo was outstanding, with a crunchy texture and just the right amount of spice. Other dishes included black wagyu salt-grilled, black wagyu negi shio-tan, and selected hormone. The tan and hormone were tender and full of flavor. Grilled Kyoto vegetables paired perfectly with the meat. The meal ended with a serving of Katsuobushi and specialty egg over rice (Yatsudai Yaeemon) or Morioka cold noodles. The dessert was a rich and delicious pudding, and a refreshing lemon sorbet. The restaurant also offers a selection of red and white wines. The ambiance was stunning, especially after a passing shower in the evening. The marble counter and private rooms provide options for different occasions. This is a perfect place for celebrations, date nights, or gatherings with friends. I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant in the Gion area.

I had some delicious kalbi after a long time. It had a reputation for being oily, but the kalbi I had this time was from Kobe beef. There are no photos, but the liver and seared yukhoe (Korean beef tartare) had no unpleasant smell. Yukhoe is usually seasoned heavily, but the one at this place was just right, allowing the flavor of the meat to shine through. The service was polite, and the draft beer was tasty without any off-putting smell. I would love to visit again.
