I ordered 4 of these steaks. Two of them were no different than any ordinary prime grade filet you'd buy at the grocery store. Hoping there was just some mix up.

The tenderloin was dark in color and not at all a good looking A5 cut of meat. The packaging was not leaking but it did have air in it leading to the oxidation of the cut of meat...

This did not look like Wagyu A5 steaks. The marbling was weak and they arrived at my home warm in a damp box. They didn’t taste like Wagyu either. I won’t be ordering from Crowd Cow again.

I’m not sure what this last order was. Maybe it was packaged wrong? Maybe a bitter old cow with something to prove? We’ve had amazing experiences so far with you all. But the first two from this batch tasted like they were angry. We still have one left in the freezer. At least I think we do? He may have escaped in the dark of the night…he may have eaten all of our crowd cow duck? If you don’t hear from us call someone and put an apb out on a junky cow posing as Japanese a5. Anyway, what we’re trying to say is…we’d like a refund. My stomach has tied knots with itself since my Last Supper.

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.
