🔥 It All Started at Tops Lookout

The first time I tasted Yappari Steak wasn’t in the city — it was up in the mountains, at Tops Lookout.The cool air, the sweeping view of Cebu and the sea, and the sound of steak sizzling on a hot stone grill created a moment I’ll never forget.

That night, I ordered Karubi (갈비) — marinated short ribs with rich marbling and deep flavor.I’d tasted many steaks before, but this was different. This was the kind of meal that makes you slow down, smile, and truly savor.

🇯🇵 A Bit of History: What is Karubi?

The word Karubi (カルビ) actually comes from the Korean word Galbi (갈비), which means “rib.”This style of meat made its way from Korea to Japan in the mid-20th century, as Korean-style barbecue gained popularity among Japanese diners.Over time, it evolved into its own version — often served with wasabi, specialty sauces, and grilled directly in front of the guest.

And that’s exactly how Yappari does it.

🍖 A Delicious Ritual

✨ The aroma of grilled meat fills the air✨ Each slice lightly seared on the hot stone, locking in flavor✨ Dip it in their own special sauce, or try it with wasabi for a spicy, clean finish✨ I even made my own dip — Himalayan salt + crushed black pepper — simple, but it enhanced the meat beautifully

And when the meat arrives at your table? It's still sizzling. Literally.They serve it on a heated stone plate with a kitchen napkin “tent” above to catch any splattering oil — practical, yet

entertaining.
