Tabelog ratingSteak & Wine Ishizaki (ステーキ＆ワイン いしざき) offers a classic teppanyaki experience in Sapporo’s lively Susukino district, where skilled chefs put on a show at the hot iron grill. The restaurant is celebrated for two things in particular: an ultra-thin, low-temperature 'cold' roast beef starter, and perfectly timed steaks served directly from the teppan.
Guests consistently praise the quality of the wagyu, with chateaubriand and tenderloin cuts described as melting in the mouth. The performance of the chefs is a key part of the appeal, as is the attentive service and well-regarded wine list. Other popular dishes include high-end seafood like abalone and Hokkaido king crab grilled on the teppan, and a garlic and crab fried rice that often concludes the meal. The restaurant is popular with both Japanese and international visitors.
This is a special-occasion restaurant with prices to match. While most diners feel the quality and experience justify the cost, some note occasional variability between chefs. A few reviewers also mention serious miscommunications over portioning that led to unexpectedly large bills, so it is wise to confirm your order and any add-ons clearly.
Dinner courses are the norm, with reviewers in 2024–2026 citing the 'Tannou Course A' at around ¥15,000 and the 'Mankitsu Course' at approximately ¥19,000. A wagyu tenderloin set was noted at ¥19,900. Be aware that adding items can increase the bill significantly; one group reported a final cost of around ¥52,000 per person.
