Why it's listed
Whisky & Ramen is a downtown Anchorage ramen and whisky bar at 436 W 4th Ave, open nightly from 5pm (until 10:30pm Sunday to Thursday, midnight Friday and Saturday), with reservations through OpenTable. Alongside its ramen the kitchen runs a dedicated Japanese steak program, and its own menu states it is the first restaurant in Alaska certified to sell Certified Kobe Beef from Hyogo, Japan. The current dinner menu lists a 6oz Certified Authentic A5 Japanese Kobe Beef at $300, a Japanese A5 BMS 11+ Wagyu ribeye and a Mishima Reserve Wagyu tomahawk and Australian Wagyu ribeye at market price, plus an A5 Wagyu carpaccio. This is one of very few venues in Alaska serving genuine Certified Kobe.

Common questions
- Does WHISKY & RAMEN serve real Wagyu?
- Yes, and it says where the beef comes from. WHISKY & RAMEN in Anchorage, AK publishes enough detail on its own materials to identify the Wagyu it sells, which is the standard this directory calls verified, last checked on July 22, 2026. That means a named Japanese brand or prefecture with its grade, an American breed status with a named producer, or an Australian producer with a marbling score.
- What kind of Wagyu does WHISKY & RAMEN serve?
- Its menu discloses Kobe A5, A5 Japanese, Mishima Reserve and Australian. Each of those is taken from the venue's own current materials rather than from a review or a listing site, and the evidence behind it is quoted further down this page.
- Is the Wagyu at WHISKY & RAMEN Kobe beef?
- Yes, on both counts that matter. This venue appears on the official Kobe Beef Marketing and Distribution Promotion Association registry, and Kobe was on its verified menu when last checked on July 22, 2026. Both are required here: a registry listing alone is permission to buy Kobe, not proof that any is being served.
- How was WHISKY & RAMEN verified?
- By reading the venue's own current material, its menu, its site or its ordering system, and quoting the line that names the beef. Reviews, aggregator copies and press mentions are not accepted as the source, because they go stale silently. Verification is assisted by AI and every claim is stored with the page it came from, last confirmed on July 22, 2026.
