Wagyu from $45 on the menu we read
Why it's listed
French-Japanese izakaya in Boston's Seaport running a genuine A5 Miyazaki program. The current dinner menu prices seven Wagyu preparations, every one specified as A5 Miyazaki: wagyu fat fries (13), tartare (24), short rib melt (29), tenderloin frites (45), and tenderloin (23) and striploin (21) handrolls. The lunch menu is a separate document and repeats the A5 Miyazaki striploin handroll at 19. Prefecture plus JMGA grade are stated first-party on the dish line itself, which meets the Japanese standard. No producer or farm is named.

Common questions
- Does Mai serve real Wagyu?
- Yes, and it says where the beef comes from. Mai in Boston, MA 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 Mai serve?
- Its menu discloses Miyazaki A5. 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.
- How was Mai 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.
