Not ‘worth it’. More like .5-.75” fat cap rather than the 1/4” advertised. Need to have better cooking instructions - specifically seasoning with S&P overnight prior to cooking and what temp to stop cooking (post wrapping at 160°). The recipe sent via email was for steaks, not brisket. The prior wagyu purchased was absolutely lovely and ‘worth it’.

The meat was delicious, the marbling was amazing, but it was a VERY tough cut of meat. I don’t understand how that can happen with so much marbling but it took so much chewing each bite, even with it cooked to a perfect medium rare.

Kagoshima Kuroshi
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!
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.
We've been writing extensively about A5 Wagyu to give you some background on the Japanese beef and its well-earned reputation for rich marbling. One thing that’s become increasingly evident in the course of our research and travels to Japan is the fact that there’s a scary amount of myths out there about A5 Wagyu from Japan.
So we thought we’d do some myth-busting.
