Wagyu from $14 on the menu we read · up to $26
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
Fin-Two is an izakaya on South Central Street in Knoxville's Old City, built around ramen, yakitori, sake, Japanese whiskey and a sushi counter. Its one beef offering sits in the nigiri and sashimi list, printed as Waygu and described only as Japanese Black Bull, at $14 for two pieces of nigiri and $26 for four pieces of sashimi. It is the most expensive item on that list, above the maguro and hamachi beside it. The menu names no grade, prefecture, brand or importer for the beef, and no other Wagyu appears on the main or happy hour menus.
Authenticity flags
- The beef here is described only as Japanese Black, which is a breed rather than a region or a grade, so the menu does not say where in Japan it comes from or how it was graded. Ask at the counter if that matters to you.

Common questions
- Does Fin-Two Japanese Ale House serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 17, 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 Fin-Two Japanese Ale House 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 Fin-Two Japanese Ale House 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.
