Satono-ya: One of the oldest Japanese BBQ restaurants in Kyoto

Established in 1960, Satono-ya is one of the oldest yakiniku restaurants in Kyoto. It is a little far from our guesthouse, but it is worth walking to.
Located near Kyoto University, it is a great place for students to enjoy delicious meat at reasonable prices.
In particular, the lunch menu is highly recommended. You can choose from galbi, tontoro, and horumon, and even combine two types. Galbi means ‘rib’ in Korean and refers to the meat around the ribs of a cow, which is one of the most popular cuts among Japanese people. Tontoro is the meat from the cheek to the neck of a pig. Horumon refers to internal organs, primarily the intestines, stomach, and liver.
Japanese barbecue originated in Korea and was popularised by Koreans living in Japan after the war, but it has developed its own unique characteristics, such as sweet sauces, and is now known worldwide as Japanese BBQ.
We highly recommend visiting this restaurant when you come to Kyoto.
