Why it's listed
A Chengdu style Sichuan hotpot house in downtown Bellevue, run by an operator whose hotpot began in Chengdu in 2001. Its own menu lists A5 Wagyu Beef, written alongside the Chinese for Miyazaki Wagyu, so the Japanese grade and the prefecture are both named on the same item. The beef is served sliced thin and rolled over ice for the pot, beside a house beef combination platter and Sichuan broths. Open daily from 11:30am, to 10pm Sunday through Thursday and 11pm Friday and Saturday.

Evidence on file
“Under the heading 'Lao Ma Tou Hot Pot Menu', the raw markup carries <h5 class="name">A5 Wagyu Beef宫崎和牛</h5>. The Chinese reads Miyazaki Wagyu (宫崎 = Miyazaki, 和牛 = wagyu). Sibling items in the same block use the identical one-h5-per-dish bilingual pattern: 'Cilantro Beef串串香菜牛'...”
laomatoubellevue.com “The dish image anchored to that h5 (images/menu4.jpg, 222,104 bytes) shows thinly sliced, densely marbled beef rolled and plated over crushed ice for the pot. The title and the picture correspond, so this is not an unpopulated template card.”
