Kamakura Yukinoshita Roast Beef

A short walk along the Kanazawa Kaido toward Hachimangu, in Yukinoshita, there is a restaurant serving roast beef and craft beer. The beer is brewed in the building, and from the second floor you can look down through an open window into the brewery. It is a new place, not to be confused with the long-established roast beef restaurant in Kamakurayama.

Our pick

Roast beef from Japanese Black wagyu sirloin, served as a set meal over rice in the style of hitsumabushi. There are five house beers with Kamakura names such as Yukinoho, Shioka and Soryu, and a flight of three lets you compare them.

How to use it

• Dinner: end a day on the Temple or Valley Path with a freshly brewed beer. It is close to Wakaremichi, just right for overnight guests heading out in the evening.
• Lunch, too: it is open all day from 11:00, good for lunch after visiting Hachimangu.
