Ishigaki Yoshida （石垣吉田）

【Message】 from Owner-Chef Junichi Yoshida

Since opening in Azabu-Juban in 2013, I have pursued the theme of “Teppanyaki Reimagined for a New Era,” presenting a bold and innovative approach to this time-honored culinary art. Each dish is crafted with meticulous attention to aroma, temperature, and harmony—with the heartfelt aim of creating a restaurant cherished by our guests.

【A Singular Wagyu Experience】 – Kitauchi Premium Beef from Ishigaki Island

This exceptional Wagyu is sourced exclusively from Tajima-lineage heifers, raised for over 40 months on Ishigaki Island. Celebrated for its concentrated umami and remarkably clean, silky fat, this rare beef is available in extremely limited quantities—only around three cattle are shipped each month.

【The Ultimate Crispy Grill Technique】

Our signature steak is a thick cut, slow-cooked at low temperatures and finished over Kishu Binchotan charcoal exceeding 800°C. This dual-phase grilling method draws out the full depth of flavor, showcasing the transcendent quality of Kitauchi Premium Beef. Developed uniquely at Ishigaki Yoshida, this technique delivers a lingering finish that is both refined and unforgettable.
