Why it's listed
French-Japanese omakase inside the Austin Proper Hotel (600 W 2nd St, downtown Austin) from twin chefs Haru and Gohei Kishi. An 11-course tasting ($195pp) features A5 wagyu across multiple courses: a parmesan-crusted gougere topped with A5 wagyu, o-toro and Osetra caviar; Japanese and Texan wagyu cuts side by side; and a smoked wagyu beef cheek bourguignon. Opened late Nov 2025, open Tue-Sat by reservation.

Common questions
- Does Kappo Kappo serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on July 19, 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 Kappo Kappo serve?
- Its menu discloses 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.
- Why is Kappo 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.
