About
Niku Kou showcases Kobe beef at its finest—raised by some of Japan’s leading producers who are uncompromising about bloodlines and age. Chef Hiroshi Ito, formerly the head chef at Imafuku, has an impressive background in menu development and contributed to the restaurant’s Michelin recognition. Drawing on his extensive experience, he evaluates the quality of each cut daily, carefully considering aroma and temperature while employing a wide range of techniques to highlight the true character of Kobe beef.
The omakase course, composed entirely of meat dishes from the opening bite to the final course, allows guests to appreciate the individuality of each cut and the progression of flavors unique to this restaurant. Every dish is elevated through the use of meticulously selected ingredients, including five‑year‑aged Rishiri kelp, premium dried bonito from Makurazaki in Kagoshima, first‑harvest nori from the Ariake Sea, a custom blend of rice crafted specifically to complement meat dishes, and seasonal vegetables and fruits sourced from across Japan.
A sommelier is on hand to recommend wines that pair beautifully with the meat, tailored to each guest’s preferences. The restaurant also offers an extensive selection of rare Japanese whiskies, enabling a wide range of pairing experiences.
Inside, guests can choose between an immersive counter where they can watch the chefs’ craftsmanship up close, or serene private rooms ideal for business dinners, celebrations, and special occasions. Indulge in a luxurious, meat‑focused omakase experience featuring Kobe beef and carefully curated beverages.
