About
Nestled in a traditional townhouse in Kyoto’s Gion district, Gion Katana is a renowned charcoal‑grilled restaurant where Japanese aesthetic sensibilities and modern refinement come together. Here, carefully selected ingredients are meticulously grilled over charcoal.
The signature dish is the charcoal‑grilled A5 Kuroge Wagyu steak, slowly cooked to perfection. Guests can savor the fragrant aroma unique to charcoal grilling and the juicy, concentrated flavor of the meat. Yakitori, seasonal Kyoto vegetables, and spiny lobster are also grilled with care, each ingredient cooked in a way that draws out its fullest character.
The course menu offers a luxurious progression: seasonal appetizers, chawanmushi, eight varieties of charcoal‑grilled dishes, spiny lobster, charcoal‑grilled A5 Kuroge Wagyu, a finishing course, and dessert. Seasonal ingredients are incorporated throughout, allowing guests to enjoy different expressions of flavor as the year unfolds.
The drink selection includes carefully curated sake from across Japan, along with wine and shochu. A pairing course—recommended by sommeliers and certified sake experts—invites guests to experience a deeper harmony between the dishes and the drinks.
In addition to counter seating that reflects the charm of a traditional townhouse, the restaurant also offers private rooms. It is suited for a wide range of occasions, from business dinners and anniversaries to family gatherings.
