YAKINIKUMAFIAIN

Based in Tokyo, wagyu expert WAGYUMAFIA has unveiled Hong Kong as the second location for its premium yakiniku brand, YAKINIKUMAFIA.

For the first time, hand-selected, whole carcasses are brought to Hong Kong straight from auction houses in Japan for use across WAGYUMAFIA restaurants. As such, YAKINIKUMAFIA Hong Kong serves the same beef used in YAKINIKUMAFIA Japan, ensuring the highest quality Wagyu available.

From prime and secondary cuts to offal and bones, the restaurant practices sustainable butchering and nothing goes to waste. By sourcing directly from farms, diners can enjoy premium wagyu at competitive prices at YAKINIKUMAFIA Hong Kong, including single breed Ozaki Wagyu from Miyazaki Prefecture, of which WAGYUMAFIA is the exclusive contractor and distributor.

The authentic Japanese grilling experience comes in a menu featuring the signature YAKINIKUMAFIA BBQ plate combo set. It is a straightforward yet eye-opening introduction to the range of textures and superiority of premium wagyu, comprising three “FML” cuts of wagyu – fatty (otoro), medium fatty (chutoro) and lean (akami). The is not pre-seasoned when served at the restaurant to allow its natural flavours to shine through.

Highlights of the beverage selection include small-batched produced sake, highball on tap, destination-inspired cocktails, Shari cocktails and WAGYUMAFIA’s own yuzu IPA.
