🇺🇸 DC Foodie | Japanese BBQ: "American Wagyu" is a Surprise Hit! 🥩

We first tried the $68 BBQ Omakase, which included 4 types of meat, an appetizer, and dessert. The real stars? The two kinds of American Wagyu in the set — they totally blew us away! 🤯 Honestly, we liked them even more than the extra A5 Japanese Wagyu we ordered later… maybe we just don’t have the palate for the real deal 😅 We asked the server — the two American Wagyu cuts were: • US Mishima Wagyu coulotte • US Mishima short rib Both were incredible! 🐂💫 The coulotte is leaner with a beefier texture, almost like thick, premium tongue — actually better than the actual tongue we ordered! The short rib is richer and melt-in-your-mouth tender. Highly recommend trying both! PS: The set comes with 5 slices of each. We added an extra order of short rib (pic 7) which came with 7–8 slices. We also tried the A5 Japanese Wagyu (strip loin) — super tender and fatty, almost too rich to enjoy in large amounts. Eating it with rice helps balance the richness. Personal preference? American Wagyu wins — great beef texture + flavorful marbling, plus better value! 💯 Dessert in the set was amazing too! 🍰 We also ordered the bread in pic 11 — delicious but calorie overload 🍞💥 We got rushed out after 1.5 hours ⏳… pretty busy on weekends, so make a reservation! A 20% service fee is auto-added. It’s pricey, but perfect for a celebration 🥂 Love, Makoto 200 Massachusetts Ave NW Suite 150, Washington, DC 20001 #WashingtonDCFood #DCBBQ #JapaneseBBQ #Wagyu #AmericanWagyu #Yakiniku #BestBBQDC
