This sat in my freezer for a few months while I tried to figure out whether to cut it up for steaks or cook the whole prime rib roast. I've only made a whole prime rib once before and I was really afraid of ruining this very expensive piece of meat. I used the "oven off and closed" method (this site has a good one, you can find others all over the web) and a simple salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, and olive oil rub. I used a meat thermometer and took it out at 135 degrees. Took about 4 hours. Couldn't be simpler, and the result was beyond amazing. It is simply not fair to compare this to any non-wagyu prime rib. The marbling holds up to the long cook and it was better than I could have imagined.

It had an okay marbling. It had thick marbling. It had a more of a meatier taste than buttery.

The marbling was insane. It was definitely a treat to see the look on my family and friends face when they got to try A5 for the first time.

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.
