Why it's listed
Ozumo's waterfront Steuart Street izakaya runs a serious, provenance-forward Wagyu program. Its current dinner menu offers ishiyaki hot-stone A5 Wagyu by the ounce from Kagoshima and A5 Takamori sake-mash-fed Wagyu from Yamaguchi Prefecture, with Australian Margaret River and Winterfrost cuts on the robata and a shabu-shabu beef trio. The restaurant is licensed by the Kobe Beef Association, but no Kobe cut appears on its current menus, so it is listed as licensed rather than serving Kobe today. Named prefectures, a named brand, and A5 grades make its Japanese program provenance-transparent.

Common questions
- Does Ozumo San Francisco serve real Wagyu?
- Yes, and it says where the beef comes from. Ozumo San Francisco in San Francisco, CA publishes enough detail on its own materials to identify the Wagyu it sells, which is the standard this directory calls verified, last checked on July 22, 2026. That means a named Japanese brand or prefecture with its grade, an American breed status with a named producer, or an Australian producer with a marbling score.
- What kind of Wagyu does Ozumo San Francisco serve?
- Its menu discloses Kagoshima A5, Yamaguchi (Takamori sake-mash-fed wagyu) A5, Margaret River and Winterfrost. 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.
- Is the Wagyu at Ozumo San Francisco Kobe beef?
- It is licensed to serve Kobe and was not listing it when we last looked, on July 22, 2026. This venue does appear on the official Kobe registry, but Kobe was not on the menu at that check, so no Kobe badge is shown. Licensed rooms drop it between allocations and bring it back, so this can change without notice and is worth asking about directly.
- How was Ozumo San Francisco verified?
- By reading the venue's own current material, its menu, its site or its ordering system, and quoting the line that names the beef. Reviews, aggregator copies and press mentions are not accepted as the source, because they go stale silently. Verification is assisted by AI and every claim is stored with the page it came from, last confirmed on July 22, 2026.
