The Original. The Best. Only at Pepper Lunch.

SINGAPORE, June 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- This 3 July 2025, Pepper Lunch proudly presents the first-ever World Pepper Rice Day, a global celebration marking 31 years since the sizzling debut of our original Pepper Rice in Tokyo, Japan.

What began as a revolutionary teppan-style meal has now become an international icon. For one day only, 517 locations around the world will join together in celebration of this legendary dish, honouring the unique flavour, technology, and interactive dining experience that only Pepper Lunch can deliver.

Why the World Still Loves Pepper Rice:

• Invented by Pepper Lunch: The original that started it all—accept no imitations.
• Patented Teppan Technology: Our hotplate stays at 80°C for over 20 minutes, engineered to sizzle.
• Signature Flavour: Our Pepper Margarine and Garlic Soy Sauce are legendary for a reason.
• DIY Fun: Cook and season it your way—right at your table, every time.
