Why it's listed
Long-running Dupont Circle kaiseki and sushi house at 1503 17th St NW carrying a larger Wagyu program than discovery credited: Wagyu Sukiyaki and Wagyu Shabu Shabu at $235 for two, both described as genuine JPN wagyu beef with a $90 extra-Wagyu supplement, plus wagyu beef nigiri at $29 and imperial wagyu nigiri at $39.

Evidence on file
“Re-read 2026-08-09. The current take-out set list carries the Wagyu as an unnamed add-on: "SUKIYAKI SET $235 (for Two) Wagyu add-on ($90)". No producer, prefecture or grade appears on the page.”

Common questions
- Does Sushi Taro serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 9, 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 Sushi Taro serve?
- Its menu discloses Mishima and 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 Sushi Taro 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.
