Another bar of pure fat. This is wagyu? I have submitted a customer feedback email. I am awaiting a reply.

Way, way too much money for a bite. The cut was a complete waste of money.

I did not like. Although the steak looks white before cooking, after cooking it will turn red. This meat did not. It was unusually tasteless except for the fat taste.

Verified • 1 order

Very tiny. Not really enough to enjoy or taste

Verified • 1 order

Weird uneven cut of meat. Nothing proportional. Cooked eneven too. Not a good experience. Wouldn’t get again at that price and size.

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.
