[Aman Kyoto] Garden Terrace Barbecue with Kyoto-style Aged Meat and Kuroge Wagyu, Surrounded by the Fresh Green Maple Forest

The Living Pavilion by Aman at Aman Kyoto (Kita-ku, Kyoto, General Manager: Yasuo Mizobuchi) has started offering a barbecue to be enjoyed on the terrace overlooking the forest garden, coinciding with the season of fresh greenery when the green maples shine brightly (available until November 30, 2026). Please enjoy your lunchtime with a pleasant breeze in an open space surrounded by nature.

This year's barbecue, where the chef carefully grills each piece with exquisite heat control right before your eyes, features a careful selection of three types of meat: Kyoto-style aged pork shoulder loin, Kyoto-style aged Wagyu beef, and Kuroge Wagyu (Japanese Black) sirloin. You can enjoy tasting and comparing the unique characteristics of each, such as the smooth texture and concentrated umami born from aging, the elegant sweetness, and the fragrant aroma from straw roasting.

The sauces that accompany the dishes are chimichurri, balsamic vinegar sauce, salsa criolla, and wasabi. The refreshing acidity, delicate spiciness, and deep, mellow nuances further enhance the individuality of the meat, drawing out a different expression with every bite.

Furthermore, for seafood, we offer large Ashiaka prawns from Tokushima Prefecture, packed with concentrated umami and sweetness. Please enjoy the firm elasticity of the meat and its luxurious richness. The side menu includes a potage of seasonal vegetables that gently concentrates seasonal nourishment, colorfully grilled seasonal vegetables, fresh cherry tomatoes, highly aromatic arugula, and fragrant butter rice.

After the meal, a seasonal sorbet capturing the breath of early summer is served. In addition, as an option to enrich your barbecue time, we also offer free-flowing drinks including champagne, wine, and beer.
