Sukiyaki & Shabu-shabu HIRANO
Where Kyoto’s quiet elegance meets the soul of Japanese hospitality.
🇯🇵 The Essence of Kyoto in a Pot
At Hirano, every dish embodies the delicate balance of Kyoto-style flavor and seasonality. Their sukiyaki and shabu-shabu feature premium Japanese Black Wagyu beef, slowly simmered before your eyes in a hand-crafted iron pot. The aroma of sweet soy, the gentle steam rising from the broth — it’s a moment where simplicity becomes art.
🌿 The Soul of Japanese Flavor: Yakumi (Condiments)
What sets Hirano apart lies in its devotion to yakumi — traditional condiments. They are not just toppings, but the final brushstroke that completes the flavor. From fragrant Kyoto scallions and freshly ground sesame, to homemade ponzu infused with yuzu and sudachi, each element deepens the umami and highlights the natural sweetness of the meat.
“Yakumi are like words that connect people and seasons.”
Every bite tells a quiet story of Japan.
🪵 A Space of Serenity
The interior blends warm wood textures with gentle lighting, creating a calm, minimalist harmony that embodies Kyoto’s understated beauty. Private rooms and tables offer a tranquil setting — perfect after a temple stroll. English menus and vegetarian options are available, ensuring that every guest can relax and experience Japanese culture comfortably.
🍁 Seasons in Every Bite
Spring brings bamboo shoots, summer welcomes hamo (pike conger), autumn celebrates matsutake mushrooms, and winter features Kyoto leeks and yuzu. With ingredients changing throughout the year, every visit offers a new taste of Kyoto — and a new memory to treasure.
