Why Kagoshima
Kagoshima raises Japan's second-largest beef cattle herd, behind only Hokkaido. At the 2022 National Competitive Exhibition of Wagyu, held in Kagoshima, the prefecture placed first in six of the nine judged categories and won the Prime Minister's Award for breeding cattle. The competition is held once every five years.
A5 Kagoshima Wagyu has fine, even marbling and fat that melts at a low temperature, so it eats soft and finishes clean. A 4 to 5 oz portion per person is plenty.

Questions, answered
What is Kagoshima Wagyu?
Kagoshima Wagyu is beef from Japanese Black (Kuroge Washu) cattle raised in Kagoshima Prefecture, at the southern tip of Kyushu. Every Kagoshima cut we sell is graded Japanese A5, BMS 11.
Is Kagoshima Wagyu A5?
Our Kagoshima cuts are all graded A5 in Japan, with a BMS of 11 on the 12-point scale. Each A5 Japanese order ships with its JPGA certificate, which carries the individual cattle ID.
How is Kagoshima Wagyu different from Miyazaki or Kobe Wine?
All three are Japanese Black A5 beef from different prefectures. Kagoshima placed first in six of nine categories at the 2022 national Wagyu competition. Miyazaki won four consecutive Prime Minister's Awards (2007, 2012, 2017 and 2022). Kobe Wine comes from Hyogo cattle fed wine pomace and is a separate program from certified Kobe Beef. The sampler is the easiest way to taste the difference.
How much Kagoshima A5 Wagyu per person?
A5 is very rich, so plan on 4 to 5 oz per person as a main, or a little less as a tasting. A 12 oz ribeye serves 2 to 3 people.
How does Kagoshima Wagyu ship?
Frozen, with ice gel packs, via FedEx 2-Day Air or Overnight. Shipping is free on orders of $250 or more, and same-day delivery is available in Los Angeles through our concierge. Every order arrives perfect, and we will always make it right.
