Togyushi sources its wagyu from Zao Farm, based in Japan's Yamagata prefecture. The ranch raises female cattle, which are fed locally sourced rice, straw, sake lees, and water, per its website, lending the high grade of the lean meat, which is subtly sweet, marbled, and tender. At the restaurant, each cut is presented to guests in a handcrafted wooden box with a birth certificate at the beginning of the meal.
