"I learned that Tokyo’s cult-favorite Wagyumafia — famous for its $180 wagyu sandwich — will hold three pop-ups in Chicago in partnership with Lettuce Entertain You, offering a $100 two-pound bowl of wagyu ramen at Ramen‑San Fulton Market tonight, a $50 wagyu Big Mac reinterpretation at Windy City Smokeout tomorrow, and a $250 wagyu cutlet sandwich at RPM Steak on Monday; the brand previously did a Chicago popup a year ago." - Daniel Gerzina
"A Tokyo-based maker of a pricey wagyu beef cutlet sandwich is planning a New York outpost after originally intending to open a butcher shop in San Francisco; the two-year-old company, led by co-owner Hisato Hamada, made headlines for its $180 signature sandwich. The sandwich is made of esteemed (and expensive) Japanese beef, breaded and fried, then served on toasted white bread with a soy-and-vinegar sauce, and the Tokyo location also offers a more modest $45 sandwich using a lesser cut. Details on the New York site are still slim, but it will likely be a splurge because of the high cost of wagyu—though it may not cost as much as $185 to try." - Serena Dai
"A Tokyo-based purveyor of high-end beef cutlet sandwiches, Wagyumafia was expected to come to San Francisco through a planned partnership with Kash Feng and was known for its coveted $180 wagyu sandwich, but that partnership has fallen through; the brand will be headed elsewhere, though Feng says they remain personal friends, he still buys Wagyumafia wagyu for his restaurants, and Wagyumafia will continue as a supplier rather than an exclusive partner for the new butcher shop." - Caleb Pershan
