Just received your second picanha A5 delivery today. I love your A5 picanha and I will continue to subscribe. Very tender and tasty. Your shipment today is different compared to my first, this one is not A5 and not very tender. I cooked them side by side today. This second order is chewy for an A5. The marbling on this is like American wagyu. I hope this is an error and not intentional. I will continue to subscribe if your Japanese wagyu A5 remains a true A5. I am not just saying this I have pictures to proved this if you need proof. I can't wait for my next shipment. Update 08/08/2021' Received A5 picanha from Kagoshima farms few day ago. This are great and very very tender. Thanks

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.
