The 'Wagyu Queen' Makes a Grand Entrance – Expert Tableside Grilling Ensures Perfect Doneness Without Lifting a Finger

'Yakiniku Gyushou Shin' meticulously selects Omi female cattle, affectionately known as the 'Wagyu Queen,' adjusting cutting techniques and grilling times based on each cut’s texture, grain, and fat distribution. Throughout the meal, dedicated staff perform tableside grilling, allowing guests to simply sit back and enjoy perfectly seared exteriors with juicy, tender interiors.

The lunch course begins with a warming tendon soup, followed by the highly Instagrammable 'Nine Condiments Raw Beef Mix.' Thinly sliced raw wagyu is paired with salmon roe, sea urchin, and other premium ingredients, elegantly presented in Kutani porcelain ware. The vibrant plating resembles a blooming flower, inviting endless photo opportunities before the first bite.

The popular 'Steak Sandwich' features thick-cut sirloin grilled to perfection and topped with house-made tartar sauce, offering a refreshing tang that balances the richness of the wagyu. Each bite delivers a harmonious blend of tender beef, rich juices, and toasted bread aroma—an irresistible combination.

Thick-Cut Tongue Takes Center Stage – Rare Cuts and Marinated Short Ribs Deliver Layered Delights

The main yakiniku course includes scallion-wrapped beef tongue, thick-cut rare leg meat, selected lean cuts, and marinated short ribs. From the crisp texture of the tongue to the robust flavor of lean beef and the luxurious marbling of short ribs, varied preparations highlight the nuanced and diverse flavors of Omi beef.

No yakiniku meal is complete without a perfect bowl of rice. The restaurant uses premium 'Yamashiro Gobee' rice imported from Japan, carefully cooked in clay pots. Upon opening, the lid releases an intoxicating fragrance. Paired with three精选 side dishes and finished with a silky, rich premium caramel pudding, every course—from main to dessert—is crafted with care.

One Bowl, Three Ways – Enjoy Kyoto-Style Flavors Even During a Limited Lunch Break

For those seeking a quick yet authentic Omi beef experience, the weekday-only 'Omi Beef Lean Cut Three-Ways Rice Bowl' is available. Inspired by Japan’s unagi don three-eat style, the first serving highlights the natural aroma of lean beef and Kyoto rice. The second adds condiments for enhanced complexity, and the third pours a warm dashi broth made from bonito and beef tendon, instantly transforming it into a comforting ochazuke.

The main dish is accompanied by the colorful 'Seven-Colored Appetizer Jewelry Box,' a small yet exquisite starter full of ceremonial charm. Whether enjoying a leisurely Omi beef lunch or quickly indulging in wagyu three ways during a break, guests can experience the artisanal excellence of Kyoto’s Gion yakiniku at Chunghsin.

Both the lunch course and the Omi beef three-ways rice bowl are available exclusively during weekday lunch hours. Actual menu offerings and availability are subject to restaurant announcements.
