Why it's listed
East Village steakhouse with an on-site butcher shop and a dedicated Japanese Wagyu program. The kitchen serves 6 oz A5 Japanese Omi Gyu (Omi beef from Shiga, raised at Okaki Farm and Sawai Ranch and sourced through the allocation-only Shogun Beef program) as an entree and as a seared A5 carpaccio, plus an A5 Wagyu New York strip flown in from Japan in the butcher shop. It also carries Snake River Farms American Wagyu skirt steak and top sirloin. A named Japanese brand, an A5 grade and named producing farms give the Omi Gyu fully documented sourcing.
