Why it's listed
A Rittenhouse omakase and yakitori counter at 1522 Locust Street, open daily from 11:30am and to 11pm at weekends, running a chef's tasting alongside a long a la carte list. Six Wagyu lines run across that menu: A5 Wagyu nigiri at 16, Wagyu Tataki at 17, charcoal-grilled Wagyu Tri-Tip skewers at 14, a Wagyu Short Rib Steak Don at 45, Truffle Wagyu Fried Rice at 35 and a King Wagyu roll at 59. The A5 grade is stated on the nigiri alone. No prefecture, brand, farm or country appears anywhere.

Common questions
- Does Kissho House Japanese Cuisine & Omakase serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on July 21, 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 Kissho House Japanese Cuisine & Omakase serve?
- Its menu discloses unknown and 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 Kissho House Japanese Cuisine & Omakase 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.
