Why it's listed
A sake izakaya on Clinton Street in the Lower East Side, run by a husband-and-wife team since 2013. Miyazaki beef runs through three dishes: a wagyu sushi at $16 for one piece or $40 for three, a wagyu roll at $25, and a wagyu don of grilled Miyazaki beef over rice with tofu miso soup at $45. A separate Washu Gyu teppanyaki of domestic wagyu, grilled at the table with a house barbecue sauce, is $34.

Common questions
- Does Yopparai serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 22, 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 Yopparai serve?
- Its menu discloses Miyazaki and American. 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 Yopparai 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.
