Kenichi Ito memorial at Five Star Beef
Posted on Thursday, 2 April 2026 under Latest,
Last week we had the pleasure of hosting Koichi Ito and his sisters, Ema and Aya, at Five Star Beef for the unveiling of a monument honouring their father, Kenichi Ito, and his significant contribution to Five Star Beef and ANZCO Foods. Through Itoham the Ito family has been part of ANZCO Foods and Five Star Beef since inception.
It was a memorable occasion, made even more meaningful by the strong turnout of those who have been part of Five Star Beef’s success since it was established in 1989.
Our thanks to the Five Star Beef team for their planning and hosting the event.
