Teppan Yakitori Kazu

Teppan Yakitori Kazu, located inside Kyoto Porta, is the sister restaurant of the acclaimed Yakitori Kazu in central Kyoto. Known for its meticulous preparation and high-quality ingredients, the original location earned consecutive accolades from a prestigious international dining guide. This branch continues that legacy, serving up expertly grilled dishes in a calm, stylish setting that invites guests to unwind and savor each bite. The menu showcases a rich variety of meats, including Kyoto Akadori chicken, Tamba Akadori, wagyu beef, Kyoto duck, and thick-sliced beef tongue. Each skewer and teppan-cooked dish is crafted with care, highlighting the natural flavors of these premium ingredients. One of the restaurant’s signature offerings is its original torimabushi and nikumabushi, innovative rice bowls inspired by Japan’s beloved hitsumabushi. Guests are encouraged to enjoy these dishes in three distinct ways: on their own, with condiments like wasabi and soft-boiled egg, or finished with a pour of savory dashi broth for a comforting ochazuke-style finale. Perfect for travelers, shoppers, or locals seeking a relaxed yet refined meal, Teppan Yakitori Kazu delivers an elevated everyday dining experience. Whether it’s a casual lunch or a well-earned treat, it’s the kind of place you’ll want to return to and bring someone special along next time.
