Why it's listed

A Bellevue Collection steakhouse built on 28 and 45 day custom-aged USDA Prime, with a Wagyu program large enough to hold its own dedicated menu page organised by origin. Three origins run side by side, each printed with producer, region, label and marble score: Snake River Farms Gold Label from Idaho, Sher Wagyu Black Label from Victoria, and a 100 percent fullblood A5 from Miyazaki Prefecture at BMS 10 to 12. Four multi-origin filet flights let a table taste them against each other and against USDA Prime.
