Kobe Beef Steak Mouriya Gion - Otsu

Absolutely incredible. Hands down best beef I have ever had. Besides the meat, all the staff is extremely friendly, professional, and considerate. Our chef was amazing and made great suggestions on how best to enjoy the meat without being too pushy. We came for lunch with no reservations and had no problems getting in.

Loved this restaurant! Great choice of beef. If you are in Kyoto and near Gion district then I would suggest you should try this place! Just can't go wrong. And after you are done with your meal? You can take a walk around the famous Gion district. Back to talking about the restaurant. From the start of the meal!? To the wine selection and all the way to the finish of the meal! Excellent. Highly highly recommend this place.

Outstanding. We tried the Kobe ribeye A-5 cut, cooked medium rare. The suggested way to savor this culinary adventure was to pair the meat with salt, pepper, wasabi, and crispy fried garlic. The taste was delightful. It had a crunchy texture with a hint of heat from the wasabi. It was salty, yet incredibly smooth. The whole experience was heavenly. Close your eyes and relish in the rich flavor with every bite. While it may be pricey, it's definitely worth it.

Chef Kawai was amazing, friendly, and professional. The service was excellent and I enjoyed watching the artful presentation of the dishes. The private chef cooks everything fresh right before your eyes. The lunch set prices range from 5,500 JPY to 13,000 JPY depending on your choice. The meat is of superb quality and the chef always ensures there is something on your plate. The garlic rice is also delicious and can be added for just 800 JPY. I highly recommend this place if you are seeking outstanding service and high-quality Wagyu beef.

This restaurant is incredible. Absolutely incredible. When you order their tasting menu, it's not just a meal, but a complete culinary experience. The soup, salad, and two appetizers were fantastic. And I have to mention the Kobe beef paired with salt crystals from Hyogo and real wasabi - it was like nothing I've ever tasted before. I highly recommend this place. The staff was also extremely courteous.
