Tier 3 · Menu claim only What the tiers mean
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
Sushi Horiuchi is a six-seat, $300 omakase counter from James Beard semifinalist chef Manabu Horiuchi (Kata Robata, Katami), open since January 2026 and actively booking on Resy (Tue-Sat, one 7pm seating). The roughly 20-course tasting menu includes a "Wagyu Sukiyaki & White Truffle" course; a CultureMap review describes the beef as "sourced from the Kagoshima Prefecture." No JMGA grade (A5) or named producer is disclosed on the first-party site or in any review, so the Wagyu clears origin but not full provenance.

Common questions
- Does Sushi Horiuchi serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on July 18, 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 Sushi Horiuchi serve?
- Its menu discloses Kagoshima. 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 Sushi Horiuchi 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.
