Why it's listed
Ichi Shabu is a shabu shabu specialist at Campus Pointe in northeast Fresno, part of Lin's Restaurant Group. Its Imperial Cuts tier is a three-origin Wagyu lineup: Japanese A5 Wagyu Ribeye at 55, Australian MS9 Wagyu Ribeye at 30, and Mishima Reserve American Wagyu Short Rib at 28, each sold as a shabu protein by the plate. The Imperial Wagyu Set at 68 puts all three in one order. Wagyu beef also turns up in a harumaki spring roll, a meatball and the nikku omurice. Doors are open Sunday to Thursday to 9pm and Friday and Saturday to 10pm.
Authenticity flags
- The Japanese ribeye is sold on its A5 grade alone and the Australian ribeye on its MS9 score, with no prefecture, brand or farm named for either. Only the American short rib names its producer, Mishima Reserve, whose own material describes crossing full-blood Wagyu bulls with American cows without saying what generation the beef is. Ask who imports the Japanese cut if that matters to you.

Common questions
- Does Ichi Shabu serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 17, 2026. What the menu does not do is say which Wagyu: no prefecture, grade, breed status or producer is published, so the sourcing cannot be checked from outside. That is a gap in what is written down rather than a suggestion that anything is wrong with the beef, and plenty of kitchens buy carefully without printing the details.
- What kind of Wagyu does Ichi Shabu serve?
- Its menu discloses Mishima Reserve, MS9 Australian and A5 Japanese. 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.
- Why is Ichi Shabu listed without a Wagyu badge?
- Because a badge here means the sourcing was checked, not that the food is good. This listing is published because the venue genuinely advertises Wagyu on its own current material, and it carries no badge because that material does not say which Wagyu. If the venue publishes the prefecture, grade, breed status or producer, the listing can move.
