JAPANESE WAGYU RIBEYE KAGOSHIMA A5+ 4MM

This ribeye from Japanese Wagyu, sourced from Kagoshima, is sliced into 4-millimeter pieces and comes from the absolute top tier: A5+ with a BMS of 12. That means you're dealing with an extremely marbled piece of beef, with fat running through every fiber. The texture is so tender it almost melts during cooking. The slices are slightly thicker than shabu shabu, giving them a bit more bite, but they still cook in seconds. Ideal for dishes like sukiyaki, or simply searing quickly and serving immediately.

WHAT MAKES A5+ WAGYU SPECIAL?

Wagyu literally means "Japanese cow," but globally it’s known as the most exclusive beef available. The A5 grade is the highest rating in the Japanese classification system, and this ribeye goes even further with a BMS (Beef Marbling Score) of 12 — the maximum score. The fat in this ribeye is soft, delicate, and melts at low temperature. The result: a buttery texture and a flavor that’s truly unmatched. There's no need to add or hide anything. A short cook is all it takes.

JAPANESE BLACK // KAGOSHIMA

This ribeye comes from fullblood Wagyu cattle of the Japanese Black breed, raised in the Kagoshima region. The animals are raised with great care and fed a balanced diet that promotes the unique fat development. In Japan, the meat is strictly evaluated on marbling, texture, color, and fat quality. Only when all aspects meet the highest standard does it receive an A5 classification. This particular meat is not just A5 — it’s “plus,” meaning it ranks among the very best even within the top tier.
