From the chef
Mr. Wakabayashi pursues Wagyu beef by considering the differences in taste and texture of each part of the beef and suitable cooking methods.
He was born in 1987 in Wakayama. Grew up fishing and enjoying nature in his childhood. After graduating from high school, he entered Taiwa Gakuen Kyoto Culinary Art College to pursue a career in culinary arts. After graduation, he worked at a major hotel, honing his culinary skills in the cooking department, focusing on Japanese cuisine. Later, through a relationship with a senior colleague from his hotel days, he joined Matsusakagyu WHAT'S Kyoto Muromachi Branch. In addition to enhancing his knowledge of beef, he utilized his own experience to be involved in menu development and the launch of the branch and supervise the overall cuisine at the Kibune branch.
