Tier 2 · Provenance-Transparent What the tiers mean
Why it's listed
Open downtown SLC hand-roll and sushi bar (222 S Main St) running a ~$125 omakase. Its menu offers an A5 Wagyu Nigiri described as "Certified A5 wagyu from the Miyazaki Prefecture, torched and topped with kizami wasabi" ($29.70), and a 7pc Premium Nigiri Set that includes A5 wagyu. That single piece names a Japanese prefecture and JMGA grade, which clears Japanese provenance. Also lists American wagyu in a hand roll (Tokyo Cowboy) and the Hando Bowl, both unbranded with no grade or producer.

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.
