WAGYUMAFIA was founded by self-taught chef-turned-wagyu experts Hisato Hamada and entrepreneur Takafumi Horie. The brand was created following a series of private dinner pop-ups around wagyu.
The WAGYUMAFIA brand currently operates seven restaurants internationally, with three members-only restaurants in Tokyo along with the iconic Cutlet Sandwich shop in Tokyo.
Earning a coveted spot in OAD’s (Opinionated About Dining) list of “Top 100+ Asian Restaurants” in 2018 and 2019, the brand became a global sensation after winning the bid for the world’s most expensive Kobe beef in 2016, which also held the highest fat marbling score in Kobe beef’s recorded history.
Past pop-up events led by Hisato Hamada include collaborations with Spain’s 3-Michelin star Azurmendi, London’s Soho House, Manila House in Manila, Fortnum & Mason and The Ned in London, Koy Shunka in Barcelona, ESTIMAR in Madrid, Grill 58 at MGM Cotai in Macao, Emilia in Mexico City and many more.
