Whole primals dry-aged in-house for weeks. Crust trimmed, fat rendered, mineral depth intact.

IL FONDATORE — 02
The pioneer of aged beef.
Chef Isami Takayama 高山いさ己 opened Carneya in 2007 — long before "aged beef" entered the Tokyo vocabulary — to forge a singular kitchen where Italian craft meets the patience of a dry-aging locker.
Whole sides hang for weeks until the fat turns nutty and the crust grows a noble rind. What leaves the wood-charcoal grill is unmistakable: a charred, mineral, mahogany bistecca that tastes of time. This is meat as a vintage — read, rested, and served on butcher paper.
