Yopparai

Yopparai opened 10 years ago as an intimate Japanese sake bar and restaurant known for its wide variety of sake paired with traditional Japanese cuisine. After a long pandemic induced break, we are excited to reopen at a new location on the Lower East Side! We continue to serve menu favorites like homemade tofu, grilled meat/fish, and oden, while also adding new offerings like sushi and Japanese hot pot. We offer socially distanced indoor dining, as well as heated outdoor dining, both with a unique Japanese ambiance. We also offer counter seating where we serve a limited-availability sushi omakase course in addition to our full menu.

For special occasions, we are proud to introduce our new sister restaurant, Yopparai Ronin, an omakase-only date night spot offering a multi-course menu in a beautiful Japanese setting. Please visit the separate Yopparai Ronin listing to book your date night.
