Why it's listed
Upscale Korean steakhouse at Sakura Novi from chef James 'JJ' Jung, opened June 2026. Its current menu carries a dedicated Wagyu section in which every line names an origin, a producer or prefecture, and a grade: a 3oz New York Strip at A5, Miyazaki, Japan; Zabuton and Marinated Short Rib at BMS 8-9, Westholme, Aus; Culotte at BMS 8-9, Stone Axe, Aus; Flat Iron at BMS 6-7, Rosewood, USA; and short rib finger, boneless short rib and hanger from Imperial, USA. The Miyazaki A5 line clears the Japanese standard outright.

Common questions
- Does The Dancing Pine serve real Wagyu?
- Yes, and it says where the beef comes from. The Dancing Pine in Novi, MI 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 The Dancing Pine serve?
- Its menu discloses Miyazaki A5, Westholme BMS 8-9, Stone Axe BMS 8-9 and Rosewood BMS 6-7. 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 The Dancing Pine 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.
