Ogawa Sushi & Kappo
Philadelphia, PA · Japanese
Tier 3 · Menu claim only What the tiers mean
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
Old City 23-course kappo omakase from the Ogawa family, with fish flown from Tokyo's Toyosu Market. The tasting includes a torched Wagyu course served with goose foie gras, and a chawanmushi built on Wagyu tartare. The venue publishes only a course-structure outline rather than dish names, so no origin, grade, prefecture or producer is disclosed first-party for the beef. Published without authenticity badges on that basis. Seatings Tuesday to Saturday at 5:30, 6:00, 7:30 and 8:00pm.

Common questions
- Does Ogawa Sushi & Kappo 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 Ogawa Sushi & Kappo serve?
- Its menu discloses 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 Ogawa Sushi & Kappo 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.
