Gion Shouan – Kyoto style Oden and Beef

The finest Hidagyu Beef shabu-shabu served in Shouan’s signature broth. The delicate flavors of Kyoto cuisine and the aroma of fine beef weave together in harmony. Sharpen your senses in the tranquility of Gion. We offer an English menu.

About / Concept

“Shoan” is located in a back alley in Gion. Please enjoy this special dish, which is filled with the flavor of carefully selected beef and the aroma of the stock that has been carefully drawn over a long period of time.

Traditional Taste of Kyoto: Nama-fu

We take pride in using “Nama-fu” (wheat gluten) from Shiba-shouten (志場商店), a historic Kyoto artisan with over 100 years of tradition. This local delicacy, crafted with time-honored techniques, offers a unique chewy texture and delicate flavor that perfectly complements our signature dashi broth.

The Excellence of Hida Wagyu

“Hida Wagyu” is a world-class brand of Japanese beef, raised in the pristine nature of Gifu Prefecture. Blessed with clear spring water and fresh air, the cattle are raised with great care, resulting in beautiful marbling and a rich, melt-in-your-mouth texture. We serve only top-grade beef that meets strict quality standards, each with a unique individual identification number for guaranteed quality and safety.

Commitment to Dashi

Based on the oden dashi broth that has been loved for many years, carefully selected kombu (kelp) and dried bonito flakes are slowly cooked to bring out a deep flavor. The “dipping dashi broth” that makes the most of this broth enhances the flavor of the beef even further, allowing you to enjoy the rich flavor that spreads in your mouth.

Commitment to Wagyu Beef

Carefully selected Wagyu beef is characterized by its tenderness and refined fat. In Takumian’s shabu-shabu, this wagyu is served in a carefully prepared broth that brings out the natural flavor of the ingredients to the fullest.
