The restaurant focuses on aged meat and charcoal grilling, believing that "meat tastes best right after it's taken off the bone."
Each day, only the meat being served is freshly deboned, and some dishes are slowly grilled over charcoal for over an hour to ensure the meat is cooked to perfection using the best techniques.
Located in Kyoto’s famous Gionmachi District, Nikuryouri Oka welcomes all guests to enjoy the wonders of curated beef at its finest.
