Japanese A5 Wagyu is as much an experinece 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 Wagy 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 exprience with others. To elevate the experinece, try a variety of fine sea salts, a high quality soy sauce or some wasabi. For a decadent expreince, try a bite of A5 Wagyu together with a piece of raw uni or some fine caviar. The interplay of flavors is extraodinary.
Flavor Profile
This A5 Wagyu Ribeye Steak is incredibly tender with a buttery, rich flavor. The melt-in-your-mouth texture is enhanced by the delicate-sweet umami-punch that is unique to Japanese Wagyu. The overall eating experience and velvety mouthfeel is unforgettable.
Chef's Serving Suggestions
When it comes to side dishes to pair with Japanese A5 Wagyu, think leafy greens and robust vegetable flavors. Try serving roasted brussels sprouts, carrots or sauteed spinach. Or how about placing a thin slice of fried garlic or laying out a variety of sea salts, fine soy sauces and even wasabi for dipping, as they do in Japan? Whatever you do, remember: Japanese A5 Wagyu is as much an experience as it is a meal.

Apple-Finished Shinshu Wagyu

Shinshu Wagyu is one of the highest quality and rarest beef in the world. With only 300 head of cattle imported to the United States each year, Shinshu Wagyu is truly a rare treat! The small farm operation raises Tajima Wagyu using a proprietary finishing method incorporating a diet of Nagano apples, which produces an exquisite Wagyu with subtle tasting notes of apple and melon.

From the Heart of the Japanese Alps

Shinshu cattle farmers take exceptional care pay special attention to the well-being of their animals. During the winter, the cattle are dressed in clothes and neck warmers to keep them healthy and content. Thanks to the love and care given by the dedicated small-scale Shinshu cattle farms, the resulting beef is of the highest quality; this Japanese Wagyu is smooth, tender, and has an unparallel melt-in-your-mouth flavor.
