Why it's listed
A small reservation-only omakase counter in Kailua with fixed evening seatings, run by chef Yutaka. Wagyu appears on both tasting tiers: a Wagyu carpaccio course in the $135 Classic omakase, and Wagyu sukiyaki in the Premium, alongside lobster, abalone and a seasonal grilled fish. The counter takes bookings by text, and a poke window trades separately during the day.

Common questions
- Does 22Kailua serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 8, 2026. What the menu does not do is say which Wagyu: no prefecture, grade, breed status or producer is published, so the sourcing cannot be checked from outside. That is a gap in what is written down rather than a suggestion that anything is wrong with the beef, and plenty of kitchens buy carefully without printing the details.
- What kind of Wagyu does 22Kailua serve?
- Its menu discloses Japanese. Each of those is taken from the venue's own current materials rather than from a review or a listing site, and the evidence behind it is quoted further down this page.
- Why is 22Kailua listed without a Wagyu badge?
- Because a badge here means the sourcing was checked, not that the food is good. This listing is published because the venue genuinely advertises Wagyu on its own current material, and it carries no badge because that material does not say which Wagyu. If the venue publishes the prefecture, grade, breed status or producer, the listing can move.
