Cooking Instructions

Cooking methods: Pan-Fry
Wine pairings: Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Pinot Noir

Japanese A5 Wagyu is as much an experience as it is a meal. To prepare this luxurious ingredient, first allow the meat to rest and come to room temperature before cooking. Lightly season with salt to help bring out the natural umami flavor. Alternatively, you can dip each bit in a fine sea salt of your choice before eating. Heat a smooth-surfaced pan such as a stainless steel pan to medium high heat. Thin slice the A5 Wagyu into individual, bite-sized portions. Place each piece on the pan without any cooking oil. A5 Wagyu has enough oil already to cook directly on a naked pan. Sear each size for approximately 2 minutes and remove. We recommend cooking each piece individually to share the experience with others. To elevate the experience, try a variety of fine sea salts, a high quality soy sauce or some wasabi. For a decadent experience, try a bite of A5 Wagyu together with a piece of raw uni or some fine caviar. The interplay of flavors is extraordinary.

The cut weighed only 15oz (not 16) and there was A LOT of excess fat all around. In the end, there was barely enough to feed 2 people. The cuts advertised look nothing like the cut I received (not even close). I have purchased much better cuts of Wagyu A5 from Costco!

One of my regrets in life is paying so much money for so many of these steaks. They are terrible. TOO much fat makes them a greasy, drippy mess. We're trying to come up with recipes that will soak up all of the melted fat that comes out.

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.
