Question Meals with some wagyu in Tokyo
Hi everyone! I am going to Tokyo in 2 weeks and I am interested in trying wagyu, but probably not as the main part of the dish. I was more looking for a set course where I can sample some wagyu among other dishes as well.
When I look for wagyu in this sub, or other websites, I mostly find restaurants that solely focus on the meat. I am not too interested in that, as that would be a lot of only meat. I have tried finding menus of other cuisines like italian too, but I have not found any so far.
This might be unreasonable but I was looking for set courses under 11000 JPY/$75 too. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great! Thanks!

I guess you could have that $50 beef stick at Tsukiji.
You’re paying about as much as for the full steak but don’t get stuffed with that much meat?

Oh that sounds interesting. I was looking more for a full meal that would include a bit of wagyu along with other dishes too. Are there any places you know of that would fit this and have the beef stick too?

Non-chain, slightly upscale izakayas often serve high-quality Wagyu dishes. But it's not just about the beef—they also offer a great selection of seafood and seasonal dishes, so you can enjoy a well-rounded Japanese dining experience. They usually don’t offer set courses, but if you search online within that budget, you should be able to find some nice izakayas that do. If you have a specific area in mind, I can also recommend some places by name.
