A5 Wagyu Beef Information– tag –

A5-ranked Wagyu beef is the highest quality beef of which Japan is proud. It is judged on four factors: marbling, meat color and luster, fineness, and fat quality, and A5 rank is given to those that receive the highest rating in all aspects.

Specifically, marbling refers to the state in which fine fat has penetrated the muscle, creating a melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich flavor. It is often eaten as a steak or sukiyaki, and its luxurious taste fascinates gourmets around the world.

However, A5 grade Wagyu beef is rare and expensive, so it is often enjoyed as a special occasion treat.
