Wagyu from $39.95 on the menu we read
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
A Bellevue tempura and donburi specialist, one of two Washington rooms. Its Bellevue ordering menu lists a $39.95 Wagyu Don Box built on grilled Wagyu beef credited to Snake River Farms, served with ikura, an onsen egg and Hokkaido rice. Snake River Farms is a real American Wagyu producer, but it publishes no breed generation for the beef it sells, so the menu names a source without documenting the lineage behind it. The Hokkaido on this menu belongs to the rice and to the uni topping, not to the beef. The Wagyu bowl was showing as out of stock.
Authenticity flags
- The Wagyu Don Box was listed as out of stock on the Bellevue ordering menu, so check with the restaurant before making a trip for it.
- Snake River Farms is named as the source, but the producer does not publish a breed generation for this beef, so what sits behind the Wagyu label is not documented.
- The Hokkaido named on this menu is the rice and the uni topping rather than the beef.

Common questions
- Does Tendon Kohaku serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 23, 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 Tendon Kohaku serve?
- Its menu discloses Snake River Farms. 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 Tendon Kohaku 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.
