Wagshal's Market

Authenticity flags

• The striploin listing describes its olive-fed Japanese Wagyu as "the finest Japanese Kobe beef available." Olive-fed Wagyu comes from Kagawa prefecture and is a different regional beef from Kobe, which comes from Hyogo. The shop does hold a genuine Kobe beef registration, but the steak on this page is olive Wagyu, not Kobe. Ask which one you are buying if the distinction matters to you.
• Neither Wagyu listing names a prefecture or a producer, so the beef is identified only by grade and by its olive-fed diet.
• Both listings say "Documentation Included" without stating what paperwork arrives with the order. If you want a grade certificate or an individual identification number for the animal, confirm with the shop before ordering.
