Eating Japanese BBQ has long been a must-do for many travelers, and one Kyoto BBQ spot run by an old-school butcher shop is especially popular. Known for its fresh meat and cuts from various parts of the cow, the highlight is the accompanying beef certification. The place gets packed during meal times, making it one of Kyoto’s most sought-after BBQ restaurants.

“Kyoto’s q<肉Q?弘”最早是卖肉的肉铺子，肉铺自己经营的烧肉店，肉的品质自然没话说，最令人惊讶的是，此处的肉品端上桌时，会附上证书。光是看肉质的油花与证书，不懂得吃肉者，也仿佛自己点到极品肉，光是气势就令人印象深刻。

Kyoto’s q<肉Q?弘的京都站前店，主打怀旧空间与新时代的品尝烧肉感，此处以5000日币一客的烧肉宴会套餐最受好评。除了基本的开胃菜、野菜等，还有盐烤与酱烤等不同的肉品，可品尝牛舌、牛五花、牛横膈膜、和牛带骨牛小排、牛内脏、牛肉葱卷等不同部位及吃法。此处也特别附上三种不同的配肉沾料，肉冻、柠檬、细青蒜都是经典。


▲ Beef and scallion rolls topped with aspic are incredibly delicious.

As a place famous for its meat, the offerings here truly stand out, particularly the beef tongue and beef scallion rolls. The beef tongue, served with a squeeze of lemon and paired with scallions, isn’t overly fatty—its tender texture carries a hint of sweetness and melts in your mouth, while the lemon helps cut through any richness. The beef scallion rolls use plenty of scallions, which in Japan have a fragrant yet mild bite. Paired with specially made aspic and grilled beef, the fat blends with the scallion aroma for another delicious treat.
