What You
Should Know
The difference is in the beef
This beef comes from the same breed as Kobe Beef (Kuroge Washu) but from different parts of Japan. This beef is rated higher, at A5 only, whereas Kobe Beef can come from cattle rated A4 or A5. A5 Wagyu is a higher quality.
And in the butcher that prepares it
Muscle fibers are what connect an animal and are inherently tough to break apart. If you leave those fibers long you’ll have a hard time breaking them down. That’s the reason so many recipes recommend slicing “thinly against the grain." We do that for you, to be sure you achieve that melt-in-your-mouth feel.
About Japanese Wagyu
The most popular breed is the Japanese Black which accounts for over 90% of the total Japanese Wagyu cattle population. They are fed for over 600 days and many times over 700 days on a grain diet. Unlike the US cattle industry, many feedlots in Japan house less than 100 cattle. Japan's temperate climate ensures consistent beef quality.
