This was an amazing experience. Hiroshi and I communicated several times via Whatsapp after I booked the experience to confirm various details and plan something special for my husband's birthday. The entire night far exceeded my expectations. The wagyu dinner was fabulous. We were in a private room at a takiniku restaurant near the meeting point. We had a variety of beef cuts, rice, and vegetables, and Hiroshi expertly prepared everything on the grill right in front of us while telling us about the different cuts and how Japanese beef is categorized. As a surprise for my husband, we even bought a beautiful cholocate dessert to bring out at the end of the meal. After dinner, Hiroshi took us on a walking tour of Gion and took dozens of photos of us at the temples and shrines and other photogenic spots around the neighborhood. He also told us about the history of Gion and it's specific customs. The tour went well beyond the brief tour mentioned in the description and was one of the highlights of our visit to Kyoto. Hiroshi is a fantastic tour guide, an engaging host, and did an amazing job of making my husband's birthday extra special.

Hiro was a great guide and besides taking us to some wonderful food places, also gave us a quick and thorough trip through Gion. Great communication and worth the time. Certainly would have him take us to other places you'd miss as a tourist.

What Makes Wagyu a Unique Culinary Delight?

Wagyu beef stands out globally due to its perfect balance of fat content, which lends it its characteristic tenderness and intense flavor.

Each bite offers a harmonious blend of texture and flavor that is truly extraordinary.

Discover how Japanese chefs take pride in the culinary art form of preparing Wagyu, using precise techniques that maximize the beef's characteristic umami.
