**Shinya Yakiniku Daichan** Kyoto: Address not disclosed Average budget: JPY 20,000 - 29,999 Tabelog: 4.26 (as of posting) 2025-2026 Tabelog Award Bronze 2024-2025 Yakiniku WEST Top 100I visited **Shinya Yakiniku Daichan** for the first time. In just one year since its opening in 2023, it has risen to become one of Kyoto's top yakiniku restaurants.The owner, known as Daichan, is **Daisuke Matsuo**.This restaurant primarily operates late at night and is reservation-only, making it difficult to book. However, I was fortunate enough to join someone who secured a new reservation slot for the **Not-So-Late Yakiniku Daichan**, which is held once or twice a month. Upon entering at 6 PM, we found ourselves in a special private reservation with just the two of us! In this luxurious setting, Daichan personally explained the details of each meat, including its quality, production background, and tips for grilling. The meat he grilled for us was simply breathtaking! Not only was it delicious, but the understanding of how to enjoy each cut to its fullest was remarkable. I genuinely felt that he is a specialist who knows meat inside and out. The style of carefully cutting the selected meats sourced from designated farms for each order, while conveying the producer's passion, is truly unique. It perfectly embodies the concept of a **yakiniku experience that tells a story**.What surprised me even more was the exceptional cost-performance ratio for such overwhelming satisfaction! Both Daichan and another staff member present that day provided high-level service, allowing us to enjoy our meal comfortably throughout. This restaurant is so captivating that it makes Kyoto feel much closer. I definitely want to revisit this special yakiniku spot!
