Sourcing & authenticity

Authentic Japanese A5, graded and traceable.

Japanese A5 is the top grade in Japan's beef grading system: "A" is the top yield grade and "5" is the top quality grade, which covers marbling, meat color, fat color, firmness and texture. Destination Wagyu's Japanese A5 steaks are graded A5, BMS 11–12.

Every Japanese A5 order from Destination Wagyu includes its JPGA certificate with the A5 grade and a 10-digit cattle ID, so you can trace the beef to the individual animal.

Miyazaki Wagyu won four consecutive Prime Minister's Awards: 2007, 2012, 2017 and 2022. We label Japanese A5, Australian and American Wagyu clearly, so you know exactly what you are buying.

A note from Golan

Built Around How You Actually Buy Wagyu

I started Destination Wagyu because buying real Wagyu online should not feel like guessing. Japanese A5, Australian Wagyu and gift boxes all need context: where the beef comes from, how it is graded, how much to serve and how it should arrive.

Our goal is to make that choice clear before you order, and memorable once it reaches your table. My standard is simple: I only sell what I eat.

Wagyu Beef Questions, Answered

Destination Wagyu sells Japanese A5 Wagyu from Miyazaki and Kagoshima, Kobe Wine A5, Australian Wagyu and American Wagyu online, shipped frozen by FedEx across the United States. Every Japanese A5 order includes its JPGA certificate with the grade and cattle ID, so you can verify what you bought.

Ask for the certificate. Authentic Japanese A5 Wagyu comes with a JPGA certificate listing the A5 grade and a 10-digit cattle identification number that traces the beef to the individual animal. Our Japanese A5 steaks are BMS 11–12.

It depends on origin and grade. At Destination Wagyu, a 16 oz A5 Miyazaki Ribeye is $175, a 16 oz Full Blood Australian Ribeye is $125, and a 16 oz American Wagyu NY Striploin is $60.

A5 is the top grade in Japan's beef grading system: "A" is the top yield grade and "5" is the top quality grade, which covers marbling, meat color, fat color, firmness and texture. Our A5 steaks score BMS 11–12 on the Beef Marbling Standard.

Japanese A5 comes from Japanese Black cattle raised in Japan and graded A5, BMS 11–12, so it is intensely marbled and served in small portions. Australian Wagyu is Full Blood or Purebred Wagyu raised in Australia, up to BMS 9+, the highest Australian marble score, in larger steakhouse-style cuts.

A5 Wagyu is very rich, so plan on 3 to 4 ounces per person as a main course, or about 2 ounces as a tasting portion. Small portions are why A5 is usually sliced and shared.
