To Our First-Time Guests: A Guide to the “473” Experience

1. The Ultimate Sanctuary of Wagyu: The Only One in Japan

OKINAWA ORIGINAL STEAK HOUSE 473 stands as the only luxury steakhouse in Okinawa officially certified by the Wagyu Research Society.

We take immense pride in being the only restaurant in Japan where the world’s most prestigious “Big Three” Wagyu brands—Ishigaki Beef, Kobe Beef, and Matsusaka Beef—converge in one location. We are committed to preserving the culture of the “Classic Steakhouse,” providing a stage worthy of these legendary ingredients.

2. Global Standards of Luxury: The “Silence and Darkness”

The moment you step through our doors, you are enveloped in a deep silence and intentional darkness. In the world’s finest classic steakhouses—from New York to London—this level of “darkness,” where you can barely see the face of your companion, is the international gold standard. There are two vital reasons for this:

• Sanctuary of Privacy: We prioritize the absolute privacy of the VIPs who frequent our establishment above all else.
• Heightening the Senses: By limiting visual distractions, we allow your palate and sense of smell to focus entirely on the “True Flavor” and exquisite aroma that only peak-quality Wagyu can provide.

3. The Penlight Ritual: A Hallmark of Authenticity

Following the tradition of the world’s most elite classic steakhouses, we provide every guest with a “Penlight” to read the menu in our darkened dining room. Receiving this penlight is more than just a utility; it is a symbol of status, a sign that you have entered a “Genuine Classic Steakhouse.” We are the sole sanctuary in Okinawa that flawlessly inherits this orthodox lineage.

4. An Immersive Experience for Connoisseurs

For those who seek “True Luxury,” we offer a serene, immersive experience that a boisterous, mainstream restaurant can never replicate. Our aesthetic of luxury is backed by a history of hosting global VIPs, and we continue to uphold these standards without compromise.

2026: Okinawa in the Global Spotlight

Following The New York Times selection of Okinawa as one of the “52 Places to Go in 2026,” our private space—limited to just 16 seats—is attracting unprecedented international attention. To ensure every dish is served as a perfect work of art, we strictly adhere to a policy of only 10 groups per day.
