Why it's listed
Okatshe is chef Jose Garces' Japanese izakaya and whiskey bar on Hamilton Street in downtown Allentown, open evenings Wednesday through Sunday with a late night happy hour on weekends. Its A5 Japanese Wagyu runs through the raw bar rather than a steak section: an A5 Wagyu Aburi seared to order and sold as nigiri, sashimi or a hand roll, a single piece of A5 Wagyu at $19, and a Wagyu Truffle Roll finished with torched A5. Two Wagyu burgers on the entree list are unbranded and unrelated to those. No prefecture, brand or farm is named.

Common questions
- Does Okatshe serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 17, 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 Okatshe serve?
- Its menu discloses A5 Japanese. 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 Okatshe 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.
