This is the first of 14 Yakiniku Hiro restaurants, including Kyo Yakiniku Hiro in a spacious Japanese-style building and Yakiniku Hiro Shoten in Kyoto Station and Shijo-Karasuma for everyday use. The first store is just a stone's throw from the original Meat Shop Hiro, which opened in 1997 as the first directly operated butcher store, and has been constantly evolving since then. All wagyu beef served here is purchased at the Kyoto Meat Wholesale Market, commonly known as "Hiro Beef. The beauty of the special sliced loin that appears on the "Tonight Only Platter" is a testament to the unbeatable quality of Hiro Beef. When it is cooked beautifully on the roaster, you can enjoy it twice, first as it is, and later by dipping it in a special egg sauce.
