"The chef’s love of beef began when he was a boy, when his father would cook thick-cut steaks for him. He is a beef evangelist, proclaiming its appeal to the world. His decision to create a ‘meat kappo’ arose from his training in kaiseki. Wagyu beef is used in every Japanese preparation style, including nigiri sushi, char-grilled and shabu-shabu. The beauty of the traditional building, the kimono-clad service and the colourful dinnerware all add to the ambience. Through beef cuisine, Oniku Karyu is spreading the word about Japanese culture." - Michelin Inspector

Tokyo Restaurant Oniku Karyu Uses the Best Wagyu Beef in the World - Eater

"At Oniku Karyu, chef Haruka Katayanagi exclusively uses kuroge wagyu. The restaurant features wagyu beef from all over Japan, but they are all of the kuroge variety, known to be the best breed of cattle in the world. Chef Katayanagi shows us how he makes different dishes from each cut, with painstaking attention to detail." - Terri Ciccone

Tokyo Restaurant Oniku Karyu Uses the Best Wagyu Beef in the World | Eater

"Chef Haruka Katayanagi translated a childhood memory of her father grilling wagyu into a restaurant devoted to kuroge wagyu from across Japan, a breed she praises for its superior color, gloss, softness and marbling. She personally breaks down each cut and demonstrates how to turn them into a range of dishes—paying painstaking attention to details like slice thickness, water temperature and a custom flour blend—to showcase each part of the animal. Signature preparations include beef tongue stew; Japanese beef sirloin and Chateaubriand shabu-shabu; white beef tripe with white asparagus and miso dressing; Japanese beef sukiyaki Chateaubriand; and a Japanese beef rare cutlet. Katayanagi says she does not claim to be a superior chef simply for serving wagyu, but feels honored to present such exclusive ingredients that many consider a treat." - Terri Ciccone

Dining at Oniku Karyu was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Chef Haruka-san was incredibly warm and personal, taking the time to explain each dish, the ingredients, and even the rich history behind the exquisite Wagyu we were served. His attention to detail and passion for his craft truly elevated the evening and made my birthday celebration feel incredibly special. The staff were equally attentive and gracious, creating a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere throughout the night. The restaurant itself has an intimate and elegant setting, perfect for savoring each moment and each bite. Every course was masterfully prepared, and the wine pairing complemented the flavors beautifully — each sip enhancing the depth and character of the dishes. The Wagyu was, without question, the best quality meat I’ve ever tasted — tender, rich, and presented with artistry and care. Oniku Karyu is a true gem, a place I will return to every time I visit Japan. Highly recommended for anyone who values exceptional food, craftsmanship, and genuine hospitality.

Michelin star perfection from start to finish. Oniku Karyu delivered the best meal of my life—every course was executed with such precision, balance, and artistry that it felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The flavors were bold yet refined, each dish telling its own story while still flowing seamlessly into the next. What truly elevated the evening was Chef Haruka-san himself. His passion, creativity, and warmth were evident in every interaction, and his dishes exploded past even my highest expectations. It wasn’t just dining; it was a masterclass in hospitality and craftsmanship. The service was flawless—attentive without ever being intrusive—and the atmosphere struck the perfect balance of elegance and comfort. From the moment we arrived to the final course, everything was seamless, thoughtful, and deeply memorable. Oniku Karyu isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience that redefines fine dining. If you are fortunate enough to visit, prepare to be amazed.

It was a splendid experience. Me and my husband have digesting problems so we kindly asked the chef to prepare us well done meat if possible, he did it wonderfully. Even prepared a totally different meal to exchange the beef tartar. We appreciated the gesture so much and enjoyed the meal. One of the best michellin experiences ever. Thank you so much.

What a wonderful experience me and my best friend had at Oniku Karyu! Everything from the food, to the service, to the ambience was exceptional. A real treat to be able to dine here. Our favorite dishes of Sept 2025 were the beef sandwich (their specialty) and the slightly grilled meat piece with salt, wasabi, and ginkgo nuts. What made this meal extra special was the staff. The chef, Haruka Katanyangi, was so kind. And the servers and sous chefs (one named Ryu (may have misspelled his name) were fun and lively. Thank you for having us!

This is my favorite restaurant in the entire world. As someone who considers himself a foodie and has traveled quite a bit around the world I must say that Katanayagi-san has created the best fine dining experience for me. Everytime we are in Tokyo we are looking forward to come to Oniku Karyu. The quality of the meat, the service, the hospitality, the emotions and story created by the menu, everything is perfect. I wish the team all the best and hope to see you again. Best, Isma

Very nice restaurant to visit. The staff is really polite and introduces every meal to you. After a warm welcome by the chef we were amazed with several dishes. All dishes had beef as the main karakter except for the dessert, which was a strawberry dish with home made ice-cream. Incredible and very tasty experience.

My experience at this outstanding restaurant in Japan surpassed every expectation. The beef, a highlight of the meal, was exceptionally tender and succulent, practically melting in the mouth with every bite. However, it wasn't just the beef that left a lasting impression; each dish presented was a delightful surprise, exceeding what I had imagined in both taste and presentation. The chef, alongside their crew, welcomed us with warmth and kindness, contributing to an special atmosphere. The level of service and hospitality encountered here is unparalleled, certainly a rarity, if not completely absent, in my experiences across the U.S. This establishment isn't just a restaurant; it's a testament to culinary excellence and gracious hosting. Without a doubt, it stands as the best dining experience I've ever had.

Incredible dishes, you will leave more than full and satisfied. We had the wine and sake pairing which complement the meal perfectly. The Chef’s personality, kind staff and unbelievable food made this unforgettable. Thank you for a wonderful once in a lifetime experience.
