Why it's listed
Miyake is a Japanese sushi restaurant on Fore Street in Portland, serving chef's choice omakase alongside a la carte nigiri, sashimi and specialty rolls. Its Wagyu Nabe is described on the menu as A5 Miyazaki Wagyu beef, simmered with tofu, scallion, enoki mushrooms and takenoko and served with raw egg soy, at $36. A seared Wagyu aburi is also offered as a single piece of nigiri at $13. Dinner runs Tuesday through Saturday with lunch Wednesday through Friday, and reservations are taken for dinner.
Authenticity flags
- Only the Wagyu Nabe names its origin and grade. The seared Wagyu aburi nigiri is listed without a stated prefecture or grade, so ask whether it is the same beef if that matters to you.
- The weekday lunch menu lists no Wagyu at all. Come at dinner if the Wagyu is what you are after.
