Irori Dining Mikuni

Kansai


Mikuni serves local speciality Tajima-gyū (a high-end brand of Japanese beef). Different cuts are served different ways, and not just as steaks: sirloin, for example, is seared and sliced thin, served over rice (¥4600); you can also get a good curry made with the same premium beef for just ¥1800.

Reserve a day in advance for splurge-worthy yakiniku (grilled meat; ¥9180), shabu-shabu (¥11,340) and sukiyaki sets (thin slices of beef cooked in sake, soy and vinegar broth, and dipped in raw egg; ¥11,340).
