If your craving a big fat juicy steak this is not the breed for you...Instead Indulge in one of the most exquisite meats in the world with a cut of premium A5 ITO Japanese Wagyu beef. Authentic Japanese Wagyu, often hailed as 'the finest beef in the world' is renowned for its buttery texture, subtle umami flavour and unequalled tenderness. Japanese Wagyu farmers achieve this exceptionally tender and finely marbled beef by meticulously raising these revered cattle in a stress-free environment with a strictly controlled diet and by keeping their heritage pure to the Wagyu bloodline. Our 100% Pureblood Wagyu is produced from the Japanese Black (Kuroge) raised by hand in a respectful and devoted manner at Mirai Farm in the pristine mountainous and forest-rich prefecture of Kagoshima. A winner of the "Best Japanese Wagyu." award our A5 Wagyu denotes the highest grade of all Wagyu beef produced in Japan and is some of the finest you'll find anywhere. Such is the abundance of fine marbling in A5 Wagyu it can appear pink rather than red. Wagyu also has a less pronounced "beef" flavour than other steaks, so the experience of eating Wagyu beef is all about its melt-in-your-mouth texture and delicate, sweet Unami flavour, thus it is prepared differently than traditional steaks. We recommend enjoying Wagyu Beef as it is prepared in Japan, respecting the traditional art of Japanese cuisine. A5 Wagyu warrants a different treatment from other beef. Whether it’s served as a steak, sukiyaki, yakiniku or teppanyaki, Wagyu Beef is best prepared and served in thin slices. The recommended serving size for A5 Wagyu beef is just 2-3oz/55-85g per person. Anymore than this can be a little overwhelming like feasting on too much Foi gras!
