A large section of one of the steaks was very grizzled fat... for the price of the meat and having had Wagu A5 many times we didn’t expect that.

taste is due to meat that doesn't have to be chewed it melts in the mouth (for me chewing give flavor) it tastes like eating the fat that is around any steak

Steak did not to be a true A5 wagyu and also looked to be the scrap end of a tenderloin. I was very disappointed in the quality. The images online certainly do not match the product you are selling.

I wonder why this Steak is so highly sought after.. it tasted just about fine and honestly had a weird smell to it because of the excessive fat content and the flavor profile was nothing too special. It was definitely tender, surely more tender than USDA prime. Most likely not going to order again.

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.
