03The beef

The beef is Japanese Black from Kagoshima, at the southern end of Kyushu. The house says every cut it serves is A5, and Vietcetera (2023) reported beef from more than ten farms. Its flagship, Satsuma Gyu "4% Miracle", is A5 with BMS No. 12, the top of the marbling scale, per the house; The Jakarta Post (August 2026), writing about the brand's Jakarta branch, put the share of Kagoshima cattle that reach A5 BMS 12 at about 4 per cent. The 2022 ministry report says the Hanoi kitchen imports all its Wagyu from Kamichiku's own farms in Kyushu and follows the recipes of the Ushinokura chain in Japan. The menu separates lean akami from marbled cuts, most in three grades.

04The fire

Yakiniku, Japanese grilled beef, is the house format, and the menu has a grill section with a "100 Carat" tenderloin (1,200,000 ₫) and a "Sakura Flavored Grill" (800,000 ₫). Vietcetera wrote in 2023 that the meat is smoked with cherry-blossom wood. No source names the fuel of the grill itself, so this page leaves it unstated.

05The story

The family story goes back 48 years, per The Jakarta Post: Toichi Kamimura, a cattle farmer in Kagoshima, planned for one son to keep the farm, one to sell the cattle abroad and one to open a yakiniku restaurant. His group, Kamichiku, set up Kamichiku Vietnam in December 2017 with Bitexco, holding 60 % to Bitexco's 39.9 %, and opened Ushino Kura in Hanoi in September 2019, per the 2022 report by Nomura Research Institute for Japan's agriculture ministry; finding the site took more than a year. In November 2020 Fukuoka Now reported the opening of the Kyushu Promotion Center in Hanoi, with Ushino Kura in its restaurant wing. The report counted 20 to 25 staff and a clientele that went from 40 % Japanese in the first year to 80 % Vietnamese the next. In August 2026 The Jakarta Post called the brand's Jakarta restaurant its second outside Japan.
