The best of the best, our Japanese Wagyu striploin is rated “A5,” the highest possible rating given to beef in Japan. What does that mean for you? Intense intramuscular marbling that melts while your steak cooks. Deep, rich red color. Tenderness and flavour that simply cannot be matched.

What is Wagyu…

Wagyu is a term that encapsulates the epitome of beef excellence. Hailing from Japan, Wagyu represents a breed of cattle renowned for its unparalleled quality and flavor. It embodies a culinary heritage rooted in meticulous rearing and feeding practices, resulting in a gastronomic delight like no other.

The hallmark of Wagyu lies in its mesmerizing marbling, where delicate streaks of fat interlace with the muscle, creating a succulent and buttery texture. The meat's rich, melt-in-your-mouth tenderness is a testament to the careful attention given to every aspect of its production.

The "A5" grading represents the pinnacle of quality in Japanese beef, specifically Wagyu. The "A" stands for the highest yield grade, meaning the meat has a superior ratio of meat to fat. The "5" indicates the highest level of marbling, color, texture, and overall quality. A5 Wagyu is celebrated in the finest kitchens for its marbling, melt-in-your-mouth texture, deep, umami-rich flavor, and its unparalleled juiciness.
