As the name "Niku Kappou" implies, all items are prepared using Kyoto beef, allowing diners to fully enjoy the flavor of Wagyu beef. The restaurant also offers a wide selection of Japanese sake, making it an attractive place to experience pairing dishes with Japanese sake that goes well with wagyu beef.

1. luxury kaiseki course featuring Kyoto meat

Kyoto beef "Miyabi" is raised with great care in a clean water and environment. This is a restaurant where you can enjoy this high quality Japanese black beef in a kaiseki course that is the ultimate in Japanese cuisine. Chef Inada, who comes from a first-class ryotei (Japanese-style restaurant), brings out the best of Wagyu beef, from sirloin to rare cuts of beef, and also includes seasonal Kyoto vegetables and seafood in the kaiseki course. The restaurant's calm and relaxing space is partitioned to prevent eye contact with other diners, which is also a plus. A wide variety of carefully selected sake and wine are also available, making it a special place to spend time with fine sake and fine food.

2. the best of Japanese cuisine with a focus on soup stock

The dish, which includes wagyu beef and seasonal vegetables from Kyoto, is full of a sense of the season and is pleasing to the eye. The dashi (Japanese soup stock) used to accompany the beef is a blend of two types of kombu (kelp) and dried bonito flakes. The rich and aromatic broth enhances the flavor of the wagyu beef, and the skill of the chefs shines through in every dish.

All meals start at 15,125 yen (including tax) for the Kyoto Meat "Masa" Special Kaiseki.

A generous assortment of dishes that are perfect as accompaniments to sake, such as Wagyu Beef Hojo wrapped in Yuba, luxurious hand-rolled fillet of beef and sea urchin, and rare Marukawa.

The sirloin, which allows you to enjoy the sweetness of the fat of Kyoto meat, is served with chiri-zu (vinegar) for a refreshing taste. You can enjoy two types of meat dishes: tender Kakuni-style Japanese beef tongue and

The marbled ribeye is quickly dipped in a seasoned broth, and the fatty flavor spreads as if melting on the tongue. The fatty flavor is melt-in-your-mouth delicious.

3. a carefully selected and unique selection of sake

We have more than 10 brands of seasonal sake, mainly dry. Each selection has a different regional and individual flavor, so you can compare them. Chef Inada recommends "Personally, I like the Assemblage Taro´ because it is easy to drink. It goes well with wagyu beef, of course, but it also goes well with all kinds of dishes.

This premium sake is the result of an "assemblage" of sake blended by three Kyoto breweries (Tokubei Masuda Shoten, Kitagawa Honke, and Matsui Shuzo). The concept is to create a sake that goes well with wagyu beef.

It is easy to drink and suitable for both before and after a meal. It is easy on the palate, but has a strong flavor. It is made to suit Wagyu beef, so it goes perfectly with our cuisine.

A much talked-about sake brewery founded in 2021 by a young master brewer, HIDEHIKO MATSUMOTO. In order to encourage people to drink without preconceived notions, the brewery keeps everything but the alcohol content and the sake rice undisclosed.

It has a slight carbonation from the fermentation process. It has a gorgeous aroma and a sake-like flavor, which also goes well with meat. I recommend it especially to sake lovers."

Junmai Ginjo made from Hokkaido-grown sake rice Kitashizuku at 59% flat polished rice. It is a mellow umakuchi with a gorgeous melon-like aroma and flavor. Its soft taste with little cloying flavor is perfect for summer.

It is a special sake with limited distribution. It has a light and soft taste and goes well with all kinds of food. It is also good to drink with appetizers, bowls, or while waiting for a pot to be prepared.

4. coziness for special occasions

We have many customers who are tourists, so we would like to offer more local sake from Kyoto," said Inada, the head chef. Some of our customers have decided to come here on their birthdays or anniversaries, and others come once a month to treat themselves," he said happily.

The reason for such regular customers is not only the food, but also the comfortable atmosphere and service. This is a great restaurant to remember as one of the best places to enjoy the finest Japanese beef dishes and sake.
