Why we point you here

Teppanyaki in Kyoto, charted internationally and delivering that precision Japan does so well.

Kyoto's temple gardens and kaiseki tradition get plenty of attention, but teppanyaki thrives here too. Grill Ukai Marunouchi holds a spot on the OAD list, proof that iron-plate cooking — theatrical, precise, intensely technical — has earned serious respect beyond the country's capital.
