Wagyu & yakiniku — Okinawa

Shima no Ushi Ishigakiya (Ishigaki beef yakiniku)

A charcoal yakiniku restaurant in Maezato, in the south of Ishigaki, in a building with red Ryukyu roof tiles and a frame of 300-year-old Yoshino cedar. The house buys whole animals among the black cattle born and raised in the Sakishima islands (Ishigaki and Misaki beef) and selects A4 and A5 grades, which lets it offer rare cuts; lightly seared beef nigiri is its signature. A high-ceilinged main hall with sunken horigotatsu seating throughout, and nine private rooms for 4 to 10, some opening onto the garden.

Corporate use

Our address for the Ishigaki beef dinner of a leadership committee or a small incentive group: an 8-to-10-seat room keeps the conversation private, and several neighboring rooms can be booked for a group of 20 to 40, each table with its own grill. Room charge of ¥550 (small room) to ¥1,100 (large room) per room. The restaurant does not publish a buy-out package: beyond that, we work with the main hall on request. 20 minutes from New Ishigaki Airport and 10 minutes from the ferry terminal; a 30-space car park takes the coach. Closed on Tuesdays; dinner from 5 pm to 9:30 pm (last order 9 pm).

Frequently asked questions

Can it take a group of 30?

Yes, by combining several neighboring 8-to-10-seat rooms or using part of the main hall; every table has its own grill.

What are the opening days and hours?

Closed on Tuesdays. Lunch 11:30 am–2 pm (last order 1:30 pm), dinner 5 pm–9:30 pm (last order 9 pm).

Should the whole group take the same course?

That is what we recommend: one course for everyone, from ¥8,500 to ¥19,500, booked in advance keeps service and billing simple.

Can a coach park on site?

The restaurant has a 30-space car park; we confirm coach access when booking.
