Ishigaki Beef Charcoal-Grilled Yakiniku - Yamamoto

He was born in 1961 in Osaka prefecture. When he had a part time job at a bistro cafe in his school days, he liked seeing the guests enjoying his dishes. This led him to the cooking field when he graduated from school. He improved his cooking skills for various genres at Japanese, western, and yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) restaurants in Osaka. In 1995, he got married and moved to the hometown of his wife, Ishigaki-jima Island, Okinawa prefecture. When he encountered Ishigaki Beef which was not well known at that time, he was fascinated with its exquisite taste. In the same year, he opened the current yakiniku restaurant which has become one of the top restaurants on the island. His restaurant is loved by both the locals and tourists.
