Very nice flavor, especially if you like fat. But be warned these are very thin steaks. They look about 1/4” raw, then cook down to just a couple of millimeters, like a minute steak. As they cook, they curl. Takes about 90 seconds.

My steaks tasted more gamey than expected. The flavor was more hamburger-like than I’m used to. I’m not intimately familiar with this cut in general, though.

Ribeyes were way thinner than expected. One steak had a big chunk of fat in the middle. Not sure why you would even sell it as a cut. Striploin did not look fresh since 80% of it was a dark purplish color and the other part was pinkish...not the anywhere near red with fat marbling I expect from true A5 especially since I just ate a bunch of it less than 3 months ago during my trip to Japan.

Striploin was ok, but there was a large strip of just fat, not meat. For a petite striploin- this was disappointing because about 1/4 of it was just fat.

Award-Winning Wagyu
Since 1966, Japan's beef industry has held a nationwide competition every five years to crown the best beef in the country. Known as "The Wagyu Olympics" (Zenkoku Wagyu Noryku Kyoshin-kai / 全国和牛能力共進会), it features 11 prize categories. One interesting category measures the quality of fats, looking for health-promoting and umami-generating oleic acid. There is also an overall winner based on the average scores across all categories. In 2017 and 2022, Kagoshima beef took the top prize based on overall contest scores (総合得点による「団体賞」は、鹿児島県が１位). You could say that Kagoshima's A5 Wagyu is among the very best Japanese beef you can buy!
Kago Melt-In-Your-Mouth Flavor
A5 Wagyu gets its legendary flavor from intense marbling. Get ready for a sweet, buttery, and decadent delight with every bite. And there's science to back up the happy dance your taste buds are doing. Research shows that beef from Kuroge-washu contains more omega-3, omega-6, and monounsaturated fatty acids (the good fats) than other beef. The unique composition of A5 Wagyu means it melts at room temperature, so it's no exaggeration to say it "melts in your mouth." This is just another reason why Japanese Wagyu is considered the pinnacle of the beef world.
