Enjoy a delicious experience of high-quality Kuroge Wagyu beef.
Mr. Ishizaki was born in 1969, in Sapporo, Hokkaido. In 1970, his grandfather started a butcher shop and associated farm. His parents then opened a sukiyaki (hot pot stew) and shabu-shabu (sliced meat parboiled with vegetables) restaurant, which led him to develop an interest in cooking. He decided to pursue cooking as a career upon graduating from high school, beginning his training in a teppanyaki (ingredients grilled on an iron griddle) restaurant. After honing his skills for over four years, he opened Steak&Wine Ishizaki in 2013. This restaurant delights its guests with its own high-quality Kuroge Wagyu beef dishes, including teppanyaki and roast beef.

江部 惠一Keiichi Ebe
The Chef's Recommendations -
The chef is the head of a cook agency, but he is leading other chefs with his excellent skills, not by his lineage.
Born in Tokyo in 1959. He studied in the Faculty of Law at a university. After some hesitation about his future, at the age of 23 he decided to enter Noda Cook Agency which is his family business. He noticed that many people started a training as teenagers, and therefore not all the people surrounding him welcomed him. However, he self-imposed to enhance skills, and did it very quickly. Finally everybody acknowledged him as the head of the restaurant. In 2015 he got a laryngeal cancer, but revived. Currently, he is in charge of grilled dishes with the motto of [never retire till the death].
