OTARU

Why it's listed

OTARU is a Mount Washington sushi counter on Grandview Avenue, open since 2024 with city-view dining and a nine-course tasting. It runs a dedicated Miyazaki A5 Wagyu program: a seared Wagyu appetizer, a Wagyu handroll, Wagyu nigiri, and an Otaru Wagyu Set of twelve pieces, each described on the menu as Miyazaki A5 Wagyu. The named prefecture and JMGA grade are attached directly to the beef across all four items, which meets the Japanese provenance standard and earns a Japanese A5 Verified badge. It is not on the Kobe registry, so no Kobe claim is made. Open nightly.
