Wagyu comes in many forms. We check the source of every one.
Japanese beef down to prefecture, brand, and grade; American Wagyu by breed status and the ranch behind it; Australian by producer and marbling score. When a venue's claim goes no deeper than its menu, we publish it as a menu claim only, never dressed up as verified.
Japanese
Prefecture + brand + Japanese carcass grade (A5 to A3). Miyazaki, Kagoshima, Omi, and Kobe, each with its own production rules.
American
Breed status (fullblood, purebred, F1) and the named ranch behind it. Akaushi/HeartBrand where certified.
Australian
The producer and its marbling score on a named scale (MB 6 to 9+), not a bare “Wagyu” label.
Kobe is among the most tightly controlled beef in the world. About 145 U.S. venues appeared in our July 16, 2026 registry snapshot. We publish 111 of them, 77 with Kobe on the current menu. See the Kobe list → · By state →
