This authentic restaurant incorporates traditional Kyoto cuisine and Edo (the original name of Tokyo) cuisine. It is the first restaurant in Ibaraki Prefecture to be recognised by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries as a 'Culinary Masters', a nationally recognised award system for chefs. It is also featured in the renowned French restaurant guide "Gault et Millau Japan 2023," which represents one of the finest establishments in Ibaraki.
The owner, who has dreamed of becoming a chef since childhood, honed his skills in high-end ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurants). In 1993, he opened "Kyoyuzen® Hanamiyako®," where he traveled to production areas across the country to carefully select ingredients. As a pioneer of terroir, he is dedicated to using the rich ingredients of Ibaraki Prefecture, offering seasonal dishes throughout the year. The authentic sukiya-style restaurant has three traditional Japanese-style rooms, with decorations and furnishings created by living national treasures and master craftsmen. There are lacquered tables, custom-made mahogany chairs, and an authentic tea ceremony room.
The restaurant is renowned for its popularity among ambassadors and celebrities worldwide and attracts visitors from various countries. Thus, we recommend making an early reservation to secure a table.

Wagyuan

Wagyuan is a popular restaurant where guests can savor Hitachi Beef and Hanazono Beef, two wagyu specialties of Ibaraki Prefecture. The restaurant is surrounded by a beautiful traditional garden that harmonizes with the tranquil Japanese-style interior. Diners can enjoy a delicious meal in this serene, hidden oasis.
The famous dish is Wagyu Hitsumabushi (a wooden bowl filled with rice and topped with chopped ingredients). Hitsumabushi, made with the freshest, juiciest Wagyu beef, is rich in flavor and truly exquisite. It can be enjoyed in three stages: first, savor the richly grilled Wagyu beef as it is, then add various seasonings, and finally pour a flavorful dashi stock over it.
The restaurant also offers a wide range of other Wagyu beef dishes, including steaks, all made with fresh, local ingredients.
For dinner, guests can enjoy a course menu, making it the perfect place to share special moments over a wonderful evening of delicious food and drinks.
