Itamae Yakiniku Ichigyu Kitashinchi

Restaurant Details

Itamae Yakiniku Ichigyu Kitashinchi is one of five locations in the Osaka-based yakiniku powerhouse, and its loyal patrons will tell you that the quality has never wavered.

This beloved restaurant specializes in wagyu, the ultra-premium Japanese beef renowned for its exquisite marbling. The focus is specifically on on female wagyu, prized for its exceptionally soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture — a quality the kitchen team finds unmatched by male counterparts. Whole cows are sourced from Japan’s top wagyu regions, including Miyagi, Saga, Kumamoto, Yamagata, Kagoshima, Yamaguchi and Miyazaki Prefectures. Quality always takes precedence over brand recognition.

The chefs' skill is evident in the meat's tenderness. Experts clad in crisp white uniforms slice the wagyu right at the counter, ensuring each cut maintains its delicate integrity. The courses offer a luxurious selection of cuts, such as pot-marinated skirt steak ready to be cooked on the grill, tender raw wagyu atop pressed nigiri sushi, and salt-marinated beef tongue roasted on a platter. For a richer flavor, diners can enhance their wagyu with the restaurant’s signature fruit-based sauce.

Appetizers like namul and kimchi are a nod to Korean-style dining. The space offers versatility. Diners can choose counter seating for a front-row view of the action, sunken kotatsu seating, or private rooms for more intimate gatherings. Whichever you choose, every table is equipped with its own grill to complete the experience.
