When it comes to meat, there are various cuts, right?
Kalbi, loin, harami, tongue…
So, do you know the cuts called "kappa" and "neji"?
In fact, these cuts are rare delicacies known to a select few.
There is an izakaya where you can enjoy dishes made with such rare delicacies, located in the Horinan district of Kurashiki City.
That izakaya is Oniq Bar Ma, Ikka.
It has a unique name, but it is a sister store of a long-established butcher shop, focusing on rare meat delicacies.
The owner has been working at the family butcher shop for over 30 years.
That’s why they can create delicious dishes using rare cuts of meat.
Let me introduce you to "Oniq Bar Ma, Ikka," where you can enjoy the owner's original meat delicacies.
It closed in 2020.
The information below is from when it was in operation.
What is "Oniq Bar Ma, Ikka"? An izakaya that is a sister store of a long-established butcher shop
"Oniq Bar Ma, Ikka" is an izakaya located in Horinan, Kurashiki City.
It is about 3 km southeast of JR Kurashiki Station, facing the main road, Prefectural Route 274.
As the name "Oniq Bar" suggests, the main focus is on meat dishes.
Moreover, the signature menu is not just any meat dish.
It features "delicacies" made from rare cuts of meat.
In fact, the owner of "Oniq Bar Ma, Ikka," Nakamura Kenji, has a family butcher shop called Nakamura-san's Umai Mono Kobo (Maruyasu Co., Ltd.) located nearby.
Nakamura-san's Umai Mono Kobo is a long-established butcher shop that cuts high-quality domestic meat to order.
Additionally, processed meat products are also popular, and in 2019, they won a gold medal at a contest hosted by the German Meat Association for their frankfurters and bacon.
Nakamura himself has worked at Nakamura-san's Umai Mono Kobo for over 30 years.
▼ The specialty of "Oniq Bar Ma, Ikka" is original meat delicacies.
Because the owner has a family butcher shop and has worked there for many years, they can offer such a menu.

"Ponzu Kappa" is the most popular menu item
▼ "Ponzu Kappa (350 yen)" is a dish made using the cut called kappa.
Kappa is a thin membrane-like part that clings to the outside of the beef belly cut.
Its appearance resembles a raincoat, which is the origin of its name.
▼ I was shown the kappa before it was cut.
I was surprised by how large it was.
The kappa is grilled, chilled, cut into thin strips, and served with ponzu sauce and chopped green onions.
▼ Since it has a ponzu flavor, it has a very refreshing taste.
Furthermore, the more you chew, the more the deliciousness of the meat oozes out.
It's easy to see why this is addictive!
