Junidanya Hanamikoji is a long-established Japanese restaurant on Hanamikoji Street in Kyoto’s Gion district, about a four-minute walk from Gion-Shijo Station. It is known for shabu-shabu and offers a traditional Gion meal in a compact, historic-neighborhood setting.
The branch’s lunchtime shabu-shabu set features thinly sliced A5-grade Kuroge Wagyu sirloin, briefly cooked in kelp broth and served with a sesame sauce alongside Kyoto vegetables. It is a focused way to try a dish closely associated with Junidanya while exploring the lanes around Gion and nearby Shirakawa.
The published lunch set is 3,800 JPY, making this a more considered stop than a quick casual meal. Current visitor information lists daytime and evening service, with Wednesday and Thursday closures; check the latest hours directly before going, especially around holidays.
