Whenever I'm in a city in Japan, I use Google maps and search for "A5 Wagyu Yakiniku." I then look at the food pictures of each restaurant for an assorted platter of different cuts of A5 Wagyu, with a lot of fat and not marinated. When I find a restaurant, I then look at their website (translate to English using Google) for the menu and check to see if is still available.
When I did this in Shibuya, Tokyo, the best-looking assorted tray of A5 Wagyu was at Han's Kitchen Annex, so we went there. When I got there and was handed the menu it said, Han No Daikodoro. Yea! I first discovered them in Kawasaki and I became an instant fan. I learned that they were opening a restaurant in Honolulu and now I enjoy dining there. However, in Japan they offer a wider selection of cuts and with the $1.00 US to ¥1.50 Yen, you pay only 1/2 to 2/3 of the price.
When you grill Wagyu, you normally grill each side for a few seconds, depending on the thickness (thicker -longer) and fattiness (shorter). You want to eat this medium-rare to medium. If you eat it rare-raw, the oils do not have a chance to flavor. If you cook it it well done, you might as well just go buy a chuck steak. I prefer wagyu non-marinated and seasoned with salt & pepper. I actually bring my own sea salt & pepper grinder.
Again, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
Better than sashimi, sushi, pork tonkatsu, tempura or sukiyaki.
