This 8oz wonder is rated at an impressive BMS 12, signifying its unparalleled marbling, tenderness, and flavor.

 

What sets our Kobe Wine Beef apart? As Kobe rejoices in its famed A5 Wagyu heritage, it also celebrates a thriving wine culture. In a unique blend of tradition and innovation, the Kobe Wine Beef Association has collaborated with local wine producers. The cattle relish in a diet enriched with wine production byproducts. These fermented treats elevate the cow's polyphenol levels, fostering a stress-free environment. The result? An exceptionally tender kobe filet that promises to melt in your mouth with every bite.

 

Wondering about its source on the animal? This Kobe filet mignon 12 is meticulously carved from the tenderloin, located beneath the ribs, away from the weight-bearing areas. This placement guarantees the most succulent, tender, and lean meat. Renowned for its rich marbling and buttery texture, the filet mignon is best enjoyed when seared to perfection or grilled to highlight its natural flavors.

 

Lastly, to ensure you're getting the real deal, every purchase comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, including the unique nose print of the cow—your guarantee to an authentic Kobe Wine Beef experience.

Japanese A5 Wagyu: A Must-Try, exquisite experience

Japanese A5 Wagyu is a bucket list item every foodie needs to experience at least once.

Incredibly marbled, "cut-it-with-a-spoon" tender and FULL of umami flavor it is an experience unlike any other.

"In Japan, A5 Wagyu is referred to as a 'holiday steak.' The Japanese enjoy it infrequently, in a celebratory setting.

When customers walk into our store seeking this level of experience, I advise them two main things: 1...share this experience with someone, and 2...a little bit goes a LONG way. The average male only consumes 4-6oz of A5 Wagyu due to its intense richness."

NICK'S TRICK FOR COOKING A5 WAGYU (IT'S REALLY EASY)

Step 1: Cut Wagyu into Strips

I always tell customers if you're worried about cooking A5 Wagyu, the easiest way to do it is to cut it into two-finger-wide strips and cook one strip at a time while you build your confidence.

This works best on Ribeyes and New York Strips, but can also work on Denver steaks.

Step 2: Heat & Grease Cast Iron Pan

Preheat your cast-iron pan to medium-high heat.

If you have a small piece of fat, you can run it over the cast-iron pan to grease it. I do not recommend using any external greasing agent, such as butter or oil, as it adds a different flavor.

Step 3: Sear on Cast Iron Pan

Cast iron pans have a really cool way of grabbing the meat and releasing it when the crust has been properly applied. This process takes about 45 seconds to a minute per side.

Cook your first piece and eyeball it, and give it a try. Make your adjustments from there. Trust me, even if it's a little overcooked, it's still going to be incredibly delicious. And don't forget to put a really great salt on it.
