Why it's listed
Wagyu Master is an all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu and sukiyaki house at El Paseo de Saratoga in West San Jose, built entirely around 100% Japanese A5 Wagyu it says is imported from Japan and certified A5 by the Japan Meat Grading Association. Signature A5 Ribeye and A5 Striploin anchor combo sets and AYCE options ($58-$128), with sukiyaki as the tableside centerpiece. Wagyu is central to the concept, but no prefecture or producer is named.

Common questions
- Does Wagyu Master - San Jose serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on July 17, 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 Wagyu Master - San Jose serve?
- Its menu discloses 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 Wagyu Master - San Jose 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.
