Japanese Wagyu

Kobe Wine Filet Steak | BMS 11 | 8oz

The Most Tender Cut From Hyogo's Kobe Wine Program.

Kobe Wine Wagyu comes from Hyogo Prefecture, where Japanese Black (Kuroge Washu) cattle are fed a ration that includes wine pomace from local wineries. Kobe Wine beef is a separate program from certified Kobe Beef. That feeding protocol introduces a subtle mineral complexity and aromatic softness to the fat that gives Kobe Wine Wagyu its distinctive character. Kobe Wine is a separate program from certified Kobe Beef. The filet is the most tender muscle on the animal, and at BMS 11 this 8 oz cut is graded A5.

JPGA Certified | Full Traceability Guaranteed

Every cut of Kobe Wine Wagyu we carry is certified by the Japan Prefectural Gyusho Association (JPGA) and backed by an individual cattle certificate included with your order. The cattle ID number on that certificate traces your beef directly back to the specific animal, farm, and bloodline it came from. This is the same national cattle ID system used across Japan's domestic beef market.

What BMS 11 Actually Means

Japanese A5 Wagyu is graded on a marbling scale of 1 to 12. A BMS score of 11 sits near the top of the 12-point scale. The intramuscular fat at this level is fine, dense, and evenly distributed throughout the muscle — producing the melt-in-your-mouth texture and layered umami depth that defines authentic A5 wagyu at its absolute peak.

Grade: A5 (Yield Grade A + Quality Grade 5)

 BMS: 11

 Cut: Filet (Tenderloin) 

Weight: 8oz

 Origin: Hyogo Prefecture, Japan 

Certification: JPGA Certificate included 

Traceability: Individual cattle ID

Why Kobe Wine Wagyu Filet Is in a Category of Its Own

The tenderloin is the least-worked muscle on the animal, which means it carries less intramuscular fat than a ribeye or striploin by nature. Achieving BMS 11 in a filet cut requires an exceptional animal and an exceptional feeding program. Kobe Wine Wagyu delivers both. The grape pomace feeding protocol adds a tenderness and aromatic finish to the fat that gives the filet a soft, nuanced finish, and the filet's clean, lean structure allows that flavor to express itself without the richness of a heavily marbled cut. The result is a delicate, refined A5 steak.

Production at this grade and cut is extremely limited. Filet portions from BMS 11 Kobe Wine cattle represent only a small fraction of what an already restricted program produces annually.

Included With Your Order

One 8oz Kobe Wine Wagyu Filet, vacuum-sealed and flash-frozen, with an official JPGA Wagyu Certificate and individual cattle traceability ID.

How to Cook

Instruction
1. Prepare the Steak

Remove the A5 Kobe Wine Filet Steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.

2. Preheat the Skillet

Heat a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottom pan over medium-high heat until very hot.

3. Sear the Steak

Place the filet in the hot skillet and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side, aiming for a nice golden-brown crust. Avoid flipping it too frequently for an even sear.

4. Check the Temperature

Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for about 125°F (52°C) to 130°F (54°C).

5. Rest the Steak

Remove the filet from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

6. Slice and Serve

Serve the filet whole or slice it against the grain with a sharp knife. Enjoy it immediately to savor the incredible flavors and textures!

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Your Wagyu Meat Delivered?

Your order ships frozen via FedEx 2nd Day Air or FedEx Overnight, Monday through Thursday, for weekday delivery. Orders placed by 12 PM PT ship the same day; Thursday shipments go overnight only. Orders of $250 or more ship free by FedEx 2nd Day Air.

Each shipment is packed in an insulated cooler with ice gel packs. The beef usually arrives frozen. Slight thawing in transit is normal, does not affect quality, and the beef can be safely refrozen, though each refreeze slightly reduces quality, so thaw only what you plan to cook.

Where Does Our Wagyu Meat Come From?

Is Your Wagyu Meat Grass-Fed?

Wagyu calves start on pasture and grass, then move to a long grain-finishing period of rice straw, corn and barley that builds Wagyu marbling. Japanese A5 cattle are typically grain-finished for well over a year. Australian Wagyu feeding varies by farm and is listed on each product page.
