Sushi-san
River North·$$$
Binchotan-Roasted Meats
$16.00
Premium proteins charred over Japanese binchotan charcoal.

Australian Wagyu
Premium Australian Wagyu beef, slightly less fatty than Japanese A5 but still heavily marbled.
Tip: Australian wagyu is included in your price, same as Japanese — no up-charge, so load up on this.

Chubby Cattle

A5 Wagyu Beef
Japanese A5 Wagyu in thin slices for tabletop grilling, with visible marbling throughout.
Tip: Don't overload the grill plate — cook 3-4 slices at a time so each one gets direct heat.
