America’s top sweet roll brand, KING’S HAWAIIAN, is making its first appearance at the popular Japanese yakiniku chain Yakiniku King’s Hawaii Fair. Starting July 9, 2026, customers across all 369 Yakiniku King locations nationwide can enjoy a special collaboration menu featuring the signature Hawaiian sweet rolls.
With the ongoing Hawaiian craze in Japan, this collaboration brings an authentic taste of Hawaii closer to Japanese diners. The highlight is the slider—a mini sandwich made by filling KING’S HAWAIIAN’s soft, sweet rolls with juicy grilled meats from Yakiniku King. The combination of savory meat and the rolls’ gentle sweetness creates a delightful flavor harmony. Guests can customize their sliders freely, adding not only meat but also sides and desserts, embodying Yakiniku King’s motto that “grilling is freedom.” This interactive menu promises a fun and delicious experience for families and friends alike.
About the KING’S HAWAIIAN x Yakiniku King Collaboration
The slider is a beloved mini sandwich style in the U.S., especially popular in Hawaii, where KING’S HAWAIIAN originated. The collaboration menu invites diners to savor grilled meats carefully cooked on Yakiniku King’s grills, sandwiched in the soft, sweet rolls that have been cherished since 1950. The slider concept allows for endless creativity, from classic grilled meats to unique fillings like sweet red bean paste or ice cream, making it perfect for any meal or occasion.
