We are Wagyu restaurants located in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan.

We hope that you will have special memories of Hokkaido through our culinary experience.

自然の息吹を、都会の真ん中で。

祖母が育んだのは、北海道の小さな町の炭火焼肉。
家族と地域をつなぐ、温もりの場でした。
　
母はそれを札幌・円山で受け継ぎ、
ナチュールワインと寄り添う焼肉へと進化させました。
　
そしていま、三代目である私は、都会の真ん中で自然豊かな北海道で育てられた“あべ牛”を炭火で焼くカウンター焼肉を始めます。
　
焼肉という言葉にとらわれない、自由で繊細な表現を一皿に込めて。

The Essence of Nature, in the Heart of the City.

In a quiet town of Hokkaido, my grandmother created a charcoal-grilled yakiniku that was more than a meal—it was a place of warmth, where family and community gathered as one.

My mother then carried this legacy to Maruyama, Sapporo, where it evolved into a refined expression of yakiniku, elegantly paired with natural wine.

Today, as the third generation, I carry this tradition into the very heart of the city.
Here, I present counter-style yakiniku, where “Abe Beef,” nurtured by the pristine nature of Hokkaido, is delicately grilled over glowing charcoal.

Beyond the word yakiniku, each plate aspires to embody freedom, subtlety, and an artistry of taste.

Jizai means "freely, in harmony".
It is our way of listening – to the land, to the ingredients –
and responding with honesty, restraint, and care.

jizai – 自在 – とは、自然に逆らわず、自由に答えること。
素材の声を聞き、手を加えすぎず、ただ真っ直ぐに、美味しさと向き合うための場所です。
