CHOP to Offer Club-Exclusive Steaks

CHOP Steakhouse is set to become the first restaurant in Japan to offer a selection of American wagyu steaks from Snake Rivers Farms in Idaho.

Unveiling its new menu on July 8, CHOP's lineup of premium American steaks features a 39-ounce porterhouse (pictured), a 14-ounce rib eye and a 16-ounce New York strip loin from Snake River Farms' cross-bred cattle.

"While other steakhouses offer USDA Prime, Snake River Farms exceeds that level of grading with its intense, wagyu cross-derived marbling," says Scott Kihara, the Club's chef de cuisine, in the July issue of INTOUCH. "The steaks offer a combination of sweet, buttery marbling with a full American beef flavor."

Other new offerings include steaks from Double R Ranch in the Pacific Northwest and a burger with an American wagyu patty from Nebraska’s family-run Morgan Ranch.
