About
Wagyu-dō opened in 2024, a short walk from the approach to Fushimi Inari Taisha. We buy A5 Japanese Black wagyu, female cattle only, and sear it cut by cut on the teppan in front of you.
The dō in our name comes from sadō and kendō — the way of tea, the way of the sword. It means a practice you keep refining. That is the whole idea.
The Beef
Every steak we serve is A5 Japanese Black (kuroge washū), always from female cattle, prized for finer, softer fat. A5 is the top mark in Japan's official grading: “A” for yield, “5” for quality, judged on marbling, meat color, firmness and texture, and the quality of the fat.
The famous melt has a reason. Wagyu fat is rich in oleic acid, the fatty acid that gives olive oil its silkiness, and it begins to melt below body temperature. It dissolves on your tongue because it literally can.
Choose your richness. Deep marbling is one answer. Some days call for a sirloin that melts; some for lean akami that tastes of nothing but beef. We serve the whole spectrum; ask us which cut fits your appetite.

The Experience
Your cut is presented raw, marbling up. Cameras are welcome; this is the photo everyone takes.
Seared in the open kitchen to the doneness you ask for, then brought straight to your table.
Salt first, then wasabi-soy, then the house truffle sauce. Guests keep asking to buy that last one.

Absolutely fantastic! The best Wagyu sirloin I've ever had. Everything you want out of wagyu and more. The salt and sauces you can add to it, along with the wasabi elevate the experience to another level. Well priced, absolutely delicious. Friendly staff that speak english well to help you if you need. Come here for fantastic wagyu at a great price!

It's in a tourist area, close enough to walk from Fushimi Inari, yet you can still get steak at a reasonable price. The atmosphere of the restaurant is really nice too.
伏見稲荷から徒歩で移動できるほど近い観光地でありながらリーズナブルなお値段でステーキが食べられる。お店の雰囲気も大変良い。

Dont get me wrong, its expensive. 71 Euro's for what I had, which was wagyu Beef, the special wagyu on top of that, but god damn this was good, and worth every penny. First restaurant that left me this satisfied with the Portion I had. Especially the garlic rice with the tiny beef pieces.

The food was excellent, the staff were very kind and speak English, and the restaurant was very quiet when I ate there. For a first wagyu experience it was really enjoyable. Highly recommend it.
La nourriture était excellente, le personnel était très gentil et parle anglais, le restaurant était très calme quand j'y ai mangé. Pour une première expérience de wagyu c'était fort plaisant. Je recommande très fortement.

None of that greasy heaviness you usually get with heavily marbled beef. Instead it's pure meaty flavor and a texture where you can really feel the grain of the meat. The first bite has a light, clean beefy sweetness, and the more you chew the more flavor comes out. The meat is firm but not the least bit tough, actually really springy. Lightly charred on the outside with that great seared smell, a perfect rare-to-medium-rare inside, juicy but clean, nothing messy about it. With a bit of rock salt or wasabi soy it's so good it should be illegal.
没有一般油花很多的那种腻感，取而代之的是纯粹的肉香和超有存在感的纤维口感。入口是那种淡淡的牛肉清甜，嚼起来越嚼越香，肉质紧实但一点也不柴，反而特别有弹性。表面微微焦香，内部是完美的三分熟，多汁却干净利落，配一点岩盐或者山葵酱油都好吃到犯规。
★★★★★
Great quality meats with excellent attention to detail. Every plate was finished, which says a lot. Even with five kids under 8, everyone ate quietly and enjoyed their meal. The staff was attentive after taking orders, and it was fun to watch the cooking process step by step. Highly recommend.
★★★★★
There was no wait so we went in. It was quiet and the food was delicious, and I'm planning to come back on my next trip.
웨이팅없어서 들어갔는데 조용하고 맛있어서 다음 여행에 또 방문할 예정입니다 😊

Wonderful place. The staff kept my allergies in mind the whole time, and I was able to enjoy the meal with complete peace of mind. The best food in Kyoto!

I'd been wanting to try this place for a while, and since it was New Year's I treated myself and had the beef bowl. The medium-rare meat and the sauce went really well together.
前から一度行って見たかったので正月なのでたまに贅沢して牛肉丼食べました。ミディアムレアの焼き加減の肉とソースがマッチングしてました。
★★★★★
A good place to try wagyu for a reasonable price (2,700 yen) and figure out whether it's for you. Clean, tasty, I liked everything!
Хороший место, чтобы за приемлимые деньги (2700 иены) попробовать вагю и понять, надо ли оно вам. Чисто, вкусно, всё понравилось!

I ordered a 150g steak of what's described as "authentic wagyu red meat" and it was just right. We ordered it with vegetables, and it also came with a salad and rice. Very flavorful and tender!
Pedi um beef de 150g do que está descrito como “authentic wagyu red meat” e achei ideal. Pedimos com legumes e também vieram uma salada e arroz. Muito saboroso e macio!
