Kobe Wine Beef Tenderloin – Rare Elegance, Finished in the Flavor of the Vine
The Kobe Wine Beef Tenderloin is one of the most exclusive and refined cuts in the world of Wagyu—a tenderloin that not only melts in the mouth, but carries a story as rich as its flavor. Raised in Hyōgo Prefecture from 100% Tajima-Gyu cattle, this A5-graded beef shares the same legendary genetics as certified Kobe beef. What sets it apart is its finishing diet: a unique blend of grains and the byproducts of Kobe’s local wine production, including fermented grape pomace and lees.
This innovative feeding approach enhances the beef’s already delicate profile, infusing the BMS 10–12 marbling with elegant complexity, subtle sweetness, and a softer, cleaner fat finish. The result is a tenderloin that’s silky, deeply flavorful, and unlike any other A5 Wagyu on the market—ideal for chefs who demand subtlety, sophistication, and a truly distinctive ingredient.
