What does this mean? →Why it's listed
SHOWA is San Francisco's tonkatsu specialty restaurant in SoMa, serving a multi-course tasting built around Iberico and dry-aged pork katsu with ingredients from Tokyo's Toyosu Market. Beef is a supporting note: a Lava Rock A5 Wagyu add-on (diced A5 Wagyu seared tableside on a hot stone) is offered when available. The restaurant is licensed by the Kobe Beef Association, but its published menu names no prefecture or brand for the A5 and does not list a Kobe cut, so it is shown as licensed rather than serving Kobe. Ask before ordering if the specific origin of the Wagyu matters to you.
