Kikyo

Kikyo serves charcoal-grilled yakiniku as well as Wagyu hamburg steak and sukiyaki sets at lunchtime. Visitors have praised the tenderness of the assorted meat platter, whether the cuts were richly marbled or leaner, making it a good choice for an evening meal that lets you compare different cuts as they grill. One diner said the Kikyo Oroshi, ordered on the owner's recommendation, had a refreshing flavour and was easy to keep eating even later in the meal. Another mentioned having kimchi alongside the yakiniku, a combination that adds a palate-cleansing side to a meat-centred dinner.

One first-time charcoal-grill diner recalled that staff showed them how to use the small tabletop grill. For a thicker cut, the menu lists Shinshu Premium King Sirloin Thick Cut (180 g) and King Fillet Thick Cut (100 g), with listed prices of 5,280 yen and 3,850 yen respectively. The daily recommendations include Shinshu Premium seared trimmings and premium black wagyu skirt steak, giving diners alternatives to the thick-cut options.

At lunch, the Wagyu cheese hamburg steak comes in 160 g and 240 g sizes. A diner who ordered the 240 g serving said it arrived on a sizzling plate, stayed hot, and had a light, soft texture. The menu lists the Wagyu cheese hamburg steak at 1,200 yen and the similarly size-selectable Wagyu Oroshi hamburg steak at 1,100 yen. These are options for a substantial meal with rice when you would rather not have yakiniku at lunchtime.

Another lunch option is the Wagyu sukiyaki set, which includes udon. One diner said it stayed hot in its iron pot until the end of the meal and came with plenty of vegetables; the listed price is 1,250 yen. Choose a charcoal-grilled meat dinner or a filling lunch of hamburg steak or sukiyaki. Lunch is served from 11:30 to 14:00, and dinner from 17:30 to 22:00. The restaurant is closed on Wednesdays, and dinner reservations are available.
