A Dialogue Through Time: Kobe Beef in a Century-Old Machiya
Kyoto Wasabi – Main Store
In the heart of Kyoto’s Nishijin district, famous for its traditional Nishijin-ori textiles, our main store stands quietly within a historic Kyo-machiya (a traditional Kyoto townhouse) over a century old. This remarkable location was once part of the grounds of Jurakudai, the legendary golden palace of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
We have intentionally preserved the original beams and pillars, allowing you to feel the very breath of history. The first floor offers a spacious dining area perfect for groups.
Ascend to the second floor to immerse yourself in an elegant atmosphere rich with Kyoto’s traditional charm, where you can savor our premium Kobe Beef Shabu-Shabu.
We invite you to spend a beautiful moment with us, gently embraced by history and culinary excellence.
