Help Identifying Cut of Meat


I went to Japan a few months ago and of course came back with the desire to cook ramen at home. One of the places I loved was Wagyu Ramen Yoshi. It’s beef based ramen, but I can’t tell what cut of beef is served in it. Hopefully someone can identify what it is based on the photos.

    Belly. I have no idea what wagyu belly looks like so I’m not going to say this ain’t it. I’m apparently in the minority though since all the experts are saying pork.

    Beef….its not for dinner. (That’s pork bud)

    That is almost certainly pork belly. Beef based ramen means the broth is made from beef, it doesn’t meant the meat that accompanies it is beef. It’s most likely traditional Chashu.

    I think it’s “plate”, a cut that comes from near the short ribs.
    You see it at Korean BBQ as well. Lots of fat and flavor.

    Pork belly. I have ramen quite a bit. Pork belly and the ramen eggs are my favorite.

    It’s pork belly. Might I suggest next time you go anywhere ask the chef as he will know what he is preparing.

    People saying pork belly i think are wrong. Looks like beef belly to me

    Pork is my guess. I am most curious why you didn’t know or ask your chef before you ate it if you wanted to know?

    I swear to God I’ll pistol whip the next guy that says “pork”!
