For the pleasure of dipping each bite of sukiyaki in egg, the Sukiyaki Set is the dish to look for. It comes with beef sukiyaki, rice, pickles, miso soup and an egg. There is also a Premium Sukiyaki Set made with a higher-grade cut of beef. One diner found that the sweet seasoning turned mellow when paired with raw egg; another remembered the sweetness of the onions. Enjoy the sukiyaki with rice, then vary the texture with the egg as you eat.

Sukiyaki is not the only option: the menu also includes a grilled beef set and a steak set. The Grilled Beef Set comes with rice, pickles, miso soup and salad. It is an alternative for a day when you would rather make the meat the focus of your meal than choose the sweet-and-savoury sukiyaki with egg. Diners have shared their impressions of the grilled beef, and one who ordered both it and the sukiyaki enjoyed them as distinct set meals. If you’re considering what to try next based on other visitors’ comments, grilled beef after sukiyaki is one possibility.

For a lighter meal, the beef rice bowl on the menu is another choice. Made in a sukiyaki style, it offers a simpler way to enjoy beef and rice than a set meal. One diner who ordered it was surprised to find it topped with Japanese pepper, but liked the doneness of the meat and its seasoning. That diner added an egg; this was an individual order, so it should not be taken as part of the standard serving.

The eat-in counter is attached to the butcher’s section in the basement 1 floor of Daimaru Kyoto and has a compact, counter-focused layout. It is an easy option if you’re looking for sukiyaki at a place that works for solo dining, or want a beef set meal during a shopping break.
