Why it's listed

A NoMad yakiniku house on East 30th Street, dinner only, grilling tableside over a Korean-inflected Japanese menu. Its sourcing page states plainly that the restaurant sources A5 Miyazaki Wagyu and American Wagyu, describing Miyazakigyu as A5-grade Japanese Black from Miyazaki Prefecture. The menu is built around beef: a Signature Cuts page headed A5 Japanese Wagyu runs boneless short rib at 78, sirloin flap at 39, flatiron at 35, skirt at 33, rib finger at 29 and hanger at 28, while the Set Menu opens with A5 Yakisuki at 55 and thick- and thin-cut wagyu tongue at 45 and 35.
