UMI Japanese Shabu Shabu
South Salt Lake, UT · Japanese / Shabu Shabu (Hot Pot)
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
An all-you-can-eat Japanese shabu shabu house on South State Street in South Salt Lake, a separate city from Salt Lake City proper, open daily from 11am with dinner service to 9pm or 10pm. Wagyu is one of six meats on the hot pot list at $29.99 a head, and it also fills and tops the Cowboy Roll on the house special roll sheet. The menu is published as images and states no origin, grade or producer for the beef. A second location trades in Meridian, Idaho.
Authenticity flags
- Wagyu is listed as one of the all-you-can-eat shabu meats and inside one sushi roll, but the menu never says where the beef comes from, what grade it is, or who raises it. Listings elsewhere describe it as Australian Wagyu; that wording is not on the restaurant's own menu, where the only Australian item ever named is a lamb leg. Ask the staff about the beef before you order if provenance matters to you.

Common questions
- Does UMI Japanese Shabu Shabu serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 16, 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 UMI Japanese Shabu Shabu serve?
- Its menu discloses unknown. 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 UMI Japanese Shabu Shabu 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.
