Japanese Wagyu: The Absolute Top of Beef
Japanese Wagyu comes from cattle bred under strict conditions in Japan. The meat is celebrated worldwide for its exceptional marbling — fine veins of fat that make the meat incredibly tender and flavorful. During cooking, this fat melts and creates an intense, rich taste with an almost creamy texture.
Whether you choose ribeye, sirloin, or picanha, Japanese Wagyu always guarantees a special dining experience.
Japanese Wagyu Beef: Grades and Marbling Score
Japanese Wagyu is rated with a grade (A1 to A5) and a marbling score (1 to 12). The higher the score, the finer the marbling and the richer the flavor.
- Grade A1: Marbling score 1 out of 12 – subtle marbling and a mild flavor.
- Grade A2: Marbling score 2 out of 12 – slightly more fat marbling and a softer texture.
- Grade A3: Marbling score 3–4 out of 12 – a perfect balance between tenderness and flavor.
- Grade A4: Marbling score 5–7 out of 12 – richly marbled meat, full of flavor and buttery soft.
- Grade A5: Marbling score 8–12 out of 12 – the highest quality, extremely marbled, representing the ultimate in luxury and taste.
In addition to the marbling score, the origin and breeding of Wagyu are also assessed. Over the past decades, the Wagyu breed has spread around the world. Since the export of live cattle was once prohibited, embryos were shipped and implanted in other breeds such as Angus. This resulted in many crossbreeds, meaning not all Wagyu cattle are 100% pure Wagyu.
The main categories are:
- F1: 50% Wagyu
- F3: 87.50% Wagyu
- F7: 99.22% Wagyu
- F10: 99.90% Wagyu
- FB: 100% Wagyu, also known as Full Blood Wagyu
When grading carcasses, the color of the meat and fat is also considered. The brighter the color, the higher the rating and final classification. Combined with the marbling score, this determines the final grade and value of the meat.
Grade A5 Full Blood Wagyu, in particular, is considered the ultimate standard worldwide.
