La Jyho Live Kitchen, the buffet area inside "All Day Dining La Jyho" at Kyoto Century Hotel, is presenting "THE THEATER BUFFET -Summer-," a limited summer lunch and dinner buffet running from June 25 (Thursday) to August 26 (Wednesday), 2026.
The centerpiece of La Jyho Live Kitchen is "MEAT THEATER." Three stations — grill, carving, and teppan — serve a rotating lineup of meat dishes spanning Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisines, with the menu changing completely every 30 minutes. Wagyu takes center stage as the signature ingredient, with this summer's lineup including lighter warm-weather options such as "Seared Duck Breast Steak with Yuzu Kosho" and, at dinner, "Wagyu Shabu-Shabu with Yuba Sauce." Heartier dishes include "Wagyu Steak" and "Churrasco with Chicken and Sausage" at lunch, and "Wagyu Roast Beef" and "Grilled Wagyu Hamburger Steak" at dinner.
Beyond the meat station, the buffet line offers summer flavors including "Pan-Seared Sea Bass," "Grilled Eggplant and Tomato Caprese," and, at dinner, a "Seafood Tower." Desserts feature refreshing options such as "Fruit Jelly," "Lemon Tart," and "Orange Shortcake" — a citrus-bright finish to the summer spread.
All-You-Can-Eat Wagyu and More at "MEAT THEATER"

The menu spans Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisines, with wagyu and other meats offered all-you-can-eat: 6 dishes at lunch and 9 at dinner.
