What does this mean? →Why it's listed
Shogun is an open, long-running Kearny Mesa teppanyaki steakhouse and sushi bar (5451 Kearny Villa Rd; part of a Southern California group). Its dinner teppanyaki menu offers a 'Premium Tajima Wagyu' course (from $49.50) and a 'Shogun Special' combining Premium Tajima Wagyu with lobster, shrimp and scallops ($80). The rest of the beef is 'Premium Angus Beef... Certified Angus Beef (CAB)' from Greater Omaha. The Wagyu is listed with no grade and no prefecture or country statement, so it publishes without an authenticity badge.
Authenticity flags
- This restaurant's name references Kobe, but its menu does not offer certified Kobe beef. Its premium Wagyu is listed as 'Tajima Wagyu' (the cattle bloodline Kobe comes from) with no grade stated, and the restaurant is not on the official Kobe Beef registry. If you are specifically after certified Kobe, ask what this dish is before ordering.
