FAQ
Is this real Japanese A5?
Yes. It is graded A5 by the Japan Meat Grading Association, and every animal is traceable by a 10 digit ID.
What does BMS mean?
Beef Marbling Standard, Japan's 1 to 12 marbling scale. A5 beef scores 8 to 12, and a higher number means more marbling.
How much per person?
3 to 4 oz, or about 2 oz as one course in a bigger meal.
Is A5 the same as Kobe?
No. A5 is a grade. Kobe is a brand from Hyogo Prefecture. Some Kobe is A5, and most A5 is not Kobe.
What is the best way to cook it?
Small pieces seared hot and fast in cast iron. See How to cook above.
How is it shipped?

Sunflower A5 Wagyu Striploin – Japanese Precision, Sunflower-Finished Purity
From the heart of Japan comes a cut that redefines elegance in Wagyu: the Sunflower A5 Wagyu Striploin. Raised from 100% Japanese Black (Kuroge Washu) cattle and finished on a sunflower seed–enriched diet, this ultra-premium striploin offers the signature marbling and tenderness of A5-grade beef, elevated by a uniquely clean, smooth finish.
The sunflower seed diet enhances the beef’s oleic acid content, resulting in a lighter, silkier fat texture, delicate sweetness, and beautifully balanced umami. Graded at BMS 10–12, the striploin showcases feather-fine marbling and a slightly leaner profile than ribeye—making it the perfect cut for chefs who demand flavor, structure, and story on the same plate.
