Exciting New Culinary Experience in Shinagawa
The highly anticipated 'Kamo Tokidoki Uma' is set to make waves with its grand opening on November 4, 2025. This innovative eatery is a transformation of 'Kyushu Nechuuya Shinagawa Live,' brought forth by Diamond Dining, a subsidiary of DD Group, headquartered in Minato, Tokyo. Specializing in health-conscious gourmet cuisine, the restaurant promises gastronomical delights focused on two exceptional ingredients: duck and horse meat.
A Commitment to Excellence
Kamo Tokidoki Uma, affectionately known as ‘kamo uma,’ will become the third branch following successful establishments in Hamamatsucho and Jimbocho. The name reflects a dedication to quality, bringing forth exquisitely curated dishes for diners seeking both flavor and nutritional value.
Duck: A Hidden Gem
For many years, foreign duck has dominated the market, leaving local varieties underappreciated. Kamo Tokidoki Uma aims to change that narrative by highlighting domestic duck that is meticulously raised by passionate producers. Featured prominently will be Iwate duck, cultivated in the area’s pristine air, pure water, and fertile land. The result is a succulent dish that celebrates the unique terroir of Iwate.
Horse: The Prized Meat of Aomori
Equally noteworthy is the horse meat sourced from the Aomori prefecture, renowned for producing exceptional quality thanks to a climate that fosters healthy growth. The meat is particularly cherished for its unforgettable taste, attributed to careful breeding methods that create a robust yet tender texture. Local connoisseurs have consistently supported this culinary staple, marking it as a must-try for meat lovers.
Wholesome Flavors and Health Benefits
Both duck and horse meat hold immense nutritional value; they're low in calories and high in essential nutrients like iron and vitamins. This unique balance of taste and health allows Kamo Tokidoki Uma to proudly claim the culinary title of a wholesome drinking establishment.
Signature Dishes to Savor
The restaurant will serve crowd-pleasing specialties, where flavor meets tradition:
- - Kamo Negiyaki (Duck and Leek Grill) for ¥1,980 for two. This dish combines Iwate duck thighs with the sweet, tender Kashiwa leek, creating a harmonious blend of flavors that highlights the artistry of simple cooking.
