The story
At Tajimaya Shabu Shabu, located on the seventh floor of Don Quijote Shijo Kawaramachi, the focus is simple: let guests enjoy carefully selected meat and fresh vegetables to their heart’s content. Just a three-minute walk from Kyoto Kawaramachi Station, this restaurant offers a choice between shabu-shabu and sukiyaki, with the shabu-shabu served in a two-color hot pot so diners can pick two types of broth.
The lunch service runs until 16:00, allowing guests to linger without rush. During dinner, the ice cream bar features Häagen-Dazs. For those seeking a full experience, all-you-can-eat courses range from pork to wagyu, and each course includes a vegetable buffet, udon, rice, and ice cream. There are also banquet options that pair all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink, with around 30 drink varieties including beer.
The restaurant’s commitment to quality has earned it a Michelin Recommended award, a recognition that speaks to its dedication to fresh ingredients and satisfying meals. The vegetable buffet is a highlight, offering a rotating selection of seasonal produce. The sukiyaki is cooked in an iron pot for an authentic touch.
Tajimaya also runs limited-time campaigns, such as phone reservation discounts and unlimited time for lunch buffets, making it a flexible choice for groups, families, or anyone wanting to enjoy Kyoto’s shabu-shabu scene without compromise.
