Click here to learn everything about WAGYU and BMS grades here.
This is WAGYU A5, the best beef in the world; la creme de la creme. It comes fresh with a certificate of authenticity all the way from Japan.
We sell the whole tenderloin muscle untrimmed, as it comes from Japan. Why? Well, there is a lot of fun to be had with the fat, as fat is flavor. But if you wish for us to trim it, let us know (there will be an additional cost).
ABOUT WAGYU A5
A5 Miyazaki beef is measured on five factors:
- Marbling
- Meat color and brightness
- Firmness
- Texture of meat
- Color, luster and quality of fat
In the quality grade, the lowest score from the four items of the yield grade is adopted. In other words, even if grade 5 was given to marbling, color and brightness, and firmness and texture, and only fat assessments was grade 4, the quality grade of this beef is classified as grade 4. Quality grading is severely done.
A5 means this beef excels in every single factor. It has a gorgeous webbing of fat that will make you feel a creamy mouth-feel in each bite. It's literally like tasting a cloud; a cloud of beef.
Like all of our steaks, they come vacuum sealed and have been hand-cut by our expert butchers.
THE MIYAZAKI-GYU DIFFERENCE
At Meat N' Bone we made the conscious decision of selling not only Miyazaki A5 but Miyazaki Gyu because it is the best in the world. Other Wagyu from the area that do not meet the criteria for Miyazakigyu must be sold as "Miyazaki Kensan Gyu" or "Beef from Miyazaki Prefecture."
All Miyazakigyu is Wagyu but not all Wagyu is Miyazakigyu. Miyazakigyu is one step above Miyazaki Wagyu and is the cream of the crop of all Wagyu from Miyazaki. It is quite literally the best beef in the world.
Every five years, national “Wagyu Olympics” are held to determine Japan’s, and therefore the world’s, best Wagyu. Miyazaki-Gyu is the only Wagyu Program to win this award twice in a row (2007 and 2012) and then be a runner up in 2017.
You can and will find cheaper A5 beef. In fact, even Kobe beef is cheaper. But we chose to offer the best beef in the world at the most affordable price that we could.
