The Kyoto Wagyu Experience


The Kyoto Wagyu Experience
On this tour, we’ll take you to hidden gems usually off-limits to foreign tourists. These authentic local restaurants often avoid accepting foreign customers due to potential communication issues, such as misunderstandings about food allergies. However, these are the very places where the true flavors of Japan come alive—where only locals dine, and where the cuisine is truly exceptional. We created this tour because we believe these unique culinary experiences shouldn’t be kept a secret. Join us and taste the genuine local dishes that make Kyoto’s food scene unforgettable. Wagyu is highly valued and expensive both abroad and in Japan. Wagyu beef prepared outside Japan lacks the quality, taste, aroma, and appearance found here. Sushi and ramen aren’t the only favorites of the Japanese; Wagyu is a dish every Japanese person dreams of eating. If you’re in Japan and love meat, you shouldn’t miss this heavenly local beef.
