Founded in 1965, [Ten-dan], a renowned yakiniku restaurant, continues to be beloved in Kyoto. On the rooftop of the much-talked-about [Ten-dan Gion Main Store] (Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture), which offers a panoramic view of the Kamo River, the “Kamo River Sky BBQ Garden” will be held again this year. Based on the concept of “enjoying Ten-dan’s Kyoto-style yakiniku in a BBQ setting,” the restaurant offers three types of yakiniku courses featuring Ten-dan’s signature “broth-like dipping sauce.” The Kitayama branch will also open the “Kitayama Sky BBQ Garden” in July.
*Please note that the hours of operation and menus differ between the “Kamogawa Sky BBQ Garden” and the “Kitayama Sky BBQ Garden.”
