What does this mean? →Why it's listed
The original Charleston location of the O-Ku sushi group, on King Street, open nightly from 5pm with a happy hour early in the week. Wagyu runs through six dishes on the Charleston menu: wagyu dumplings at $21, an A-5 Wagyu sando at $90, an A5 Wagyu toban yaki at $34 per ounce with a two ounce minimum, a seared A-5 Wagyu with foie gras at $21, an A-5 Wagyu temaki at $17, and Wagyu nigiri at $9. The grade A5 is stated repeatedly. No prefecture, farm or brand appears anywhere on the menu.
Authenticity flags
- The menu lists A5 Wagyu across six dishes and describes the beef as "highest quality Japanese black cattle", which names the breed rather than where the cattle were raised. No prefecture, farm or brand is given for any of them. Ask which prefecture the A5 comes from if that matters to you.
