Mare

Mare is a Japanese restaurant in Gion Shijo, Kyoto, serving beef hitsumabushi and steak rice bowls made with Kuroge Wagyu. Diners choose their cut of meat, eat it first with rice, then add condiments such as green onion and wasabi along with broth to finish it like ochazuke. The space has ten counter seats and two tables for two, and the chef prepares the meat in front of the seats. Staff chatter from the kitchen carries to the seating area and can disrupt the meal.
