YAPPARI STEAK Opens in Metroplaza – Authentic Okinawan Lava Stone Steaks first introduced in Hong Kong

YAPPARI originates from Naha in Okinawa, Japan, and is a steakhouse specializing in authentic lava stone–grilled steak using Mt. Fuji lava plates, offering a youthful dining experience that is “thick-cut, great value, and fun.” Since its founding in 2015, the brand has expanded to over 70 locations across Japan and is actively growing overseas’ markets such as Singapore, Australia, and other Asian cities, with Hong Kong as one of its newest strategic hubs.​

The name “YAPPARI” comes from an Okinawan drinking culture habit of “ending the night with steak,” expressing the idea of “after all, it’s definitely steak,” and reflecting a deep appreciation for beef and a sense of dining ritual. Centered on the philosophy of “preserving the original flavor of the meat,” all steaks are carefully hand-trimmed and prepared in-house to achieve a texture that is thick-cut yet tender, juicy, and satisfying to bite into.​

Signature Mt. Fuji Lava Stone Dining

YAPPARI uses Mt. Fuji lava stone grills, which distribute heat evenly through far-infrared radiation, searing the exterior of the steak until crispy while keeping the inside tender and juicy, and absorbing excess fat to reduce greasiness. The lava stone retains high heat for an extended period, allowing guests to adjust the doneness to their preference and enjoy the interactive fun of grilling at the table—an experience that has made the brand especially popular among younger diners and social media users.​

Premium, Certified Meat for Peace of Mind

The brand carefully selects premium beef such as 120-day grain-fed Argentine Angus, which is certified, non-GMO, and free from hormones and antibiotics, prioritizing both quality and peace of mind. Signature items include top blade steak, chuck flap tail, and pork chops, with multiple portion sizes designed to suit different appetites and budgets so guests can enjoy thick-cut steak at an accessible price point. A wide variety of sauces and seasonings is available—from simple salt and pepper to Japanese-style and onion sauces—so guests may freely customize and discover their own favorite steak flavor.​​

Dining Experience Designed for Urban Life

YAPPARI’s dining flow is designed to be completed in around 40 to 60 minutes, offering a fast-paced yet still ritualistic experience that fits seamlessly into the lives of busy urban customers. Whether it is a quick dinner for office workers, a casual date, a friends’ gathering, or a spontaneous craving for “a really good steak” after work, guests can enjoy authentic Okinawan lava stone–grilled steak at YAPPARI at a relaxed and approachable price.

The Hong Kong Metroplaza branch continues the brand’s signature youthful design style, offering comfortable seating and an open kitchen, allowing guests to visually enjoy the tempting aroma and vibrant colors of the dishes as they are prepared.
