Brand Vision

Yakiniku Maumu upholds the unwavering concept of “Authentic Wagyu, at Its Most Delicious,” offering an unparalleled yakiniku experience in the vibrant heart of Kyoto—one that leaves a lasting impression on every guest. More than just a place to dine, our mission is to create extraordinary moments that engage all five senses and remain cherished in memory.

Our Three Uncompromising Commitments

1. The Value of Whole-Cow Purchase
Rare cuts you can only encounter here, with unwavering trust in quality.

What we bring to your table is nothing less than carefully selected A5 Kuroge Wagyu, sourced from across Japan. Among them, we choose only cattle of exceptional lineage and upbringing, purchasing the entire cow directly from trusted producers. This is not merely to offer rare cuts that can only be found through whole-cow sourcing, but also to take full responsibility for the story behind each animal. For our guests, this means the joy of tasting rare cuts available nowhere else, and the deep, rich flavors that only genuine Wagyu with a clear provenance can provide—with complete peace of mind.

2.Freshness Above All
Artisan skills that bring out the true melt-in-your-mouth texture of Wagyu.

The delicate flavor of Wagyu is fleeting, fading with time. To capture its finest moment, we never freeze the beef we procure. Instead, it is carefully aged under perfect temperature control to elevate its full potential. For every order, our skilled artisans study each fiber of the meat, slicing it one by one at the exact thickness that allows each cut to shine. This is not mere cutting—it is a sacred ritual, breathing new life into the beef to create the ultimate texture and melt-in-your-mouth experience. The moment it touches your lips, you will be astonished by its tenderness as it dissolves instantly, followed by an overwhelming flood of rich juices. This is the true essence of Wagyu we are committed to delivering.

3. The Philosophy of Grilling
Ultimate simplicity, delivering the finest luxury.

Truly delicious beef needs no unnecessary embellishment. The star is, and always will be, authentic A5 Wagyu itself. That is why our seasonings are kept simple—just salt to draw out the natural umami, and our house-made sauce as a supporting companion. To enhance its appeal even further, we use cast-iron grilling plates, chosen for their superior heat retention. They instantly seal in the juices and deliver the perfect sear with powerful heat. Even the rising smoke becomes an irresistible spice. Beyond simplicity lies a profoundly indulgent moment—an experience of pure joy, where the essence of yakiniku is nothing more, and nothing less, than savoring truly great meat.

Authentic Wagyu. At Its Most Delicious.

What we strive for is not just delicious yakiniku, but an unforgettable Wagyu experience that leaves a lasting impression. To achieve this, we pursue three uncompromising commitments, ensuring that every guest can savor “the ultimate flavor of authentic Wagyu.”
