Common questions
- Does SHIKI serve real Wagyu?
- Yes, and it says where the beef comes from. SHIKI in Charleston, SC publishes enough detail on its own materials to identify the Wagyu it sells, which is the standard this directory calls verified, last checked on July 22, 2026. That means a named Japanese brand or prefecture with its grade, an American breed status with a named producer, or an Australian producer with a marbling score.
- What kind of Wagyu does SHIKI serve?
- Its menu discloses Miyazaki A5 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.
- How was SHIKI verified?
- By reading the venue's own current material, its menu, its site or its ordering system, and quoting the line that names the beef. Reviews, aggregator copies and press mentions are not accepted as the source, because they go stale silently. Verification is assisted by AI and every claim is stored with the page it came from, last confirmed on July 22, 2026.
