Kobe Beef Gion Sudaku Teppan, a Steakhouse Worthy of a Trip to Kyoto's Gion, to Grand Open on July 1, 2026

Mitsuboshi Shoji Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kamo, Kuze District, Kyoto Prefecture / Representative: Etsushi Kanto) will grand open 'Kobe Beef Gion Sudaku Teppan (KOBE BEEF GION SUDAKU TEPPAN)' in Kyoto's Gion district on July 1, 2026, under the production of Sogo Omi Beef Trading Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Moriyama City, Shiga Prefecture / President & CEO: Toshihiro Nishino).

Located near Yasaka Shrine and Hanamikoji, the restaurant will offer teppanyaki courses featuring Kobe beef—the iconic Japanese branded beef—as the centerpiece, complemented by Omi beef and seasonal ingredients unique to Kyoto.

With the recovery of inbound tourism, Kyoto welcomes visitors from around the world. The restaurant will deliver a special experience by blending 'Kyoto’s essence' with 'Japan’s highest dining experience' for guests from Japan and abroad.

A Teppanyaki Experience Unique to Kyoto’s Gion, Curated by World-Class Chefs

The culinary team at 'KOBE BEEF GION SUDAKU TEPPAN' is led by an accomplished chef with extensive experience as the Executive Chef of F&B (Food & Beverage) departments at integrated resort facilities. He has been instrumental in launching and operating numerous Michelin-listed restaurants and establishments awarded Five-Star ratings by global hotel rating organizations.

Leveraging years of experience in serving diverse international and domestic guests, the chef will feature 'Kobe beef,' one of Japan’s most prestigious branded beefs, as the star of the menu, while also incorporating the rich appeal of 'Omi beef,' which Sogo Omi Beef Trading has long championed.

Kobe beef is renowned for its delicate melt-in-the-mouth texture and refined umami, while Omi beef offers deep, complex flavors and a rich aroma. By highlighting the unique characteristics of each, and pairing them with seasonal Kyoto ingredients and local Kyo vegetables, the restaurant will create a new teppanyaki experience.

The precise cooking techniques and lively performance on the teppan grill in front of guests will elevate the meal from mere dining into a special moment that can only be experienced in Kyoto’s Gion.

In addition, the restaurant will serve not only domestic guests but also international visitors who have come to love the 'Sudaku' brand through its overseas operations.

By fusing world-class hospitality, Japan’s celebrated Wagyu culture, and the unique location of Kyoto’s Gion district, the restaurant will deliver 'Japan’s highest dining experience' to guests from around the world.
