Why it's listed
Convoy-district yakiniku with a full first-party menu page dedicated to A5 Japanese Wagyu (Sirloin $80/5oz, Short Rib $34, Haneshita $34, Samplers, Family Combo $82) and a second dedicated page for US Kobe from Snake River Farms in Idaho (Short Rib Gold $34, Black $32, Haneshita $23, Outside Skirt $22, Cube Cut Steak $30). Grade and import origin are disclosed; no Japanese prefecture or brand is named, and the American side names a producer but no breed generation.

Common questions
- Does Tsuruhashi Japanese BBQ - San Diego serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on July 20, 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 Tsuruhashi Japanese BBQ - San Diego serve?
- Its menu discloses Snake River Farms 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 Tsuruhashi Japanese BBQ - San Diego 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.
