1.［Meat Cuisine Yama] Omakase Course/Kawaramachi
Meat Cuisine Yama, located in a quiet alleyway without a sign, is a restaurant that is difficult to reserve for those in the know. The menu consists of one omakase course that changes monthly, and the main dish is char-grilled beef, using only female Japanese black cattle. The owner, who knows all about meat dishes, creates original dishes that are not to be missed, such as the exquisitely-timed grilled top-grade cuts of beef and a tan salt comparison.
The meat somen (somen noodles) in the 21,296 yen omakase course is a dish that can only be enjoyed because it is fresh. Katsu (pork cutlet) sandwiches and beef tongue curry for the end of the meal are also popular menu items.
The restaurant, renovated from a 130-year-old old private house, has a high ceiling and a spacious interior, with an L-shaped counter and table seating for several people.
