About this spot
Tucked inside JR Kyoto Department Store, Saikyo Yaki Kyoto Yamaroku serves up the city's signature mild-baked dishes with a focus on melt-in-your-mouth silver croaker and plump mackerel. The kitchen specializes in traditional home-style 'obanzai' that change daily, offering a refined white flesh abalone or tofu fried in red teriyaki miso sauce for those avoiding heavy sauces. It is the perfect spot to grab a single-item seared dish or a full set meal featuring carefully selected domestic rice while soaking up the bustling department store vibe.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the Seikyo-yaki Set Meal to try three seasonal obanzai dishes in one go.
- Ask for the Nishiki-grilled items if you want to sample cut-off pieces from premium fish at a lower price.
- Bring cash or use your card, as this cafeteria-style spot moves quickly during dinner rush.
