Wagyu from $14 on the menu we read
This listing's current published materials advertise Wagyu, but the offering does not meet our full verification standard for provenance. It carries no authenticity badge; undisclosed details remain explicitly unverified.
Why it's listed
An izakaya on Pacific Street in Omaha, open daily except Monday, with a kitchen list of small plates, nigiri and maki rolls. Two dishes use Wagyu: Prairie Tuna, a nigiri of Wagyu steak with uni butter at $14, and the Rodeo roll, Wagyu with panko, pickle, onion and Japanese mayo at $14. The printed menu calls the nigiri beef Sakura Wagyu, while the live ordering menu lists the same dish as Wagyu steak with no brand. No prefecture, grade or ranch is stated for the beef anywhere. The only prefecture on the menu belongs to a Hokkaido scallop.
Authenticity flags
- Its printed menu describes the Wagyu nigiri as Sakura Wagyu, while its own online ordering menu lists the same dish as plain Wagyu steak. Neither surface names a country, a grade or a ranch for the beef, so ask at the counter if the source matters to you.
- The one Japanese region named on this menu, Hokkaido, belongs to a scallop rather than to the beef. Nothing on the menu ties the Wagyu to a Japanese prefecture.

Common questions
- Does Koji serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 18, 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 Koji serve?
- Its menu discloses Sakura. 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 Koji 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.
