Ginkakuji Onishi
Ginkakuji Onishi is a Kyoto butcher shop that was brought in last October by Aston Soon, the owner of Astons Specialities. Apparently, he was a long time patron of Ginkakuji before he decided to open the shop in Singapore. Which is great news for us, because now we have access to a wide range of prime wagyu cuts that are not readily available elsewhere!
Ginkakuji Onishi do not have an online shop, so the only way to purchase their products is to head down to their store located at 122 Tembeling Road.
