The A5 Japanese Wagyu Sampler pairs a Picanha from Kagoshima with two cuts from Miyazaki, a Petite Filet and a NY Striploin: 22 ounces of BMS 11 beef, three textures, and an easy first step into Japanese A5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's inside\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA5 Japanese Kagoshima Wagyu Picanha, 8 oz, BMS 11.\u003c\/strong\u003e From Kagoshima Prefecture.

This sampler gives you two Miyazaki cuts and one Kagoshima cut, so it is a tour of three textures rather than a same-cut contest: the Miyazaki Petite Filet shows A5 at its most tender, the Miyazaki NY Striploin shows it in a classic loin steak, and the Kagoshima Picanha shows how the grade carries through a fat-capped sirloin cut from a second prefecture. Taste all three and you will know which cut, and which prefecture, to order next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to taste it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA5 Japanese Wagyu is rich, so small portions go a long way. Many guests are happy with 3 to 4 ounces each, which means this sampler sets a tasting for five or six, or dinner for three. Thaw the steaks in the refrigerator. Sear the Petite Filet whole in a very hot, dry pan for about a minute per side, rest it briefly and slice. Slice the NY Striploin and Picanha into strips about half an inch thick and sear them quickly; the marbling provides its own fat. Start with the Petite Filet, move to the Picanha, and finish with the Miyazaki NY Striploin, so each cut is tasted against the last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCertificate of authenticity\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Japanese order ships with its certificate of authenticity. Each certificate traces the beef to the individual animal, with its identification number, breed, origin, harvest place, packing date and A5 grade, so you know exactly what is on the plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePacked to arrive perfect\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour sampler ships frozen from Los Angeles in an insulated foam cooler with insulated wrap and ice gel packs.
