Why it's listed
Chef Masaharu Morimoto's Philadelphia flagship runs a genuine, multi-origin Wagyu program on its own menu: A5 from Miyazaki Prefecture, A5 olive Wagyu from Seto Island, a domestic Idaho Wagyu, plus a dedicated Wagyu Tasting and numerous Wagyu dishes. Prefecture and grade are disclosed for each Japanese item, with A5 correctly limited to Japanese beef. The menu also markets 'Certified Kobe,' but the venue is not on the official Kobe registry, so that specific claim is not backed by the registry. Open for nearly 25 years; Michelin's 2025 Philadelphia debut did not award it a star.
