The Finest Sukiyaki Ingredients

The story of the supporting players, nurtured by Kyoto's history and tradition.
Each a storied gem, chosen to lift the savor of wagyu.

Kyoto

Kujo Green Onion

~ 1,300 Years of History ~

A heritage vegetable since the Heian period. Its signature silkiness melts in the heat into sweetness. A perfect match for the fat.

Kyoto

Kyo Mizuna

~ Raised by Water and Soil Alone ~

A heritage vegetable since the Edo period. Its crisp, fresh bite is a bright accent to the rich warishita broth.

By Kitano Tenmangu

Toyoukeya Yamamoto
Grilled Tofu

~ Est. 1897, a Storied House ~

A celebrated house near Kitano Tenmangu, founded in 1897. Deep soybean flavor that soaks through to the core.

Tokushima

Thick Shiitake

~ Golden Broth of the Mountains ~

Astonishingly thick, with a bite almost like abalone. The more you chew, the more its deep savor flows.

Selected

Onion

~ Gentle Depth in the Broth ~

Slowly cooked, it drinks in the savor of the meat while releasing its own sweetness.

Joyo City

Fujisei Shirataki Konnyaku

~ Prized Firmness and Smooth Finish ~

Crafted by artisans, nurtured by the clear streams of the Kizu River. It takes on flavor beautifully, with a smooth, slippery texture.

Kyoto

Hanbey Fu

~ Est. 1689, Over Three Centuries ~

Mochi-like spring and a melting finish. A masterpiece steeped in history.

Hokkaido

Yumepirika

A top-grade branded rice, nurtured in Japan's northernmost land. Cooked plump and fluffy in a clay pot — every grain carrying true sweetness and sheen.

A Special Touch

Premium Egg

The "leading supporting role" of sukiyaki. We use only eggs from free-range, cage-free hens raised with care. Rich, deep yolk and a silken texture, wrapping melting wagyu in mellow softness.
