What does this mean? →Why it's listed
IMA is a Michelin Guide-recommended Beverly Hills restaurant whose entire concept is built around certified A5 Japanese Wagyu served as traditional sukiyaki and shabu-shabu, offered as prix fixe (roughly $150-190 per person) plus a la carte. Run by the Yazawa Meat group (sister to the adjacent Yazawa yakiniku), IMA presents its beef as 'certified A5 Wagyu' selected from the 'best Japanese Blacks,' imported from Japan and served fresh rather than frozen. Wagyu is unambiguously central to the concept, but the restaurant's own materials do not name a specific prefecture or traceable brand.
