Japanese Wagyu

Miyazaki Filet Steak | BMS 11 | 8 oz

Four Consecutive Prime Minister's Awards at Japan's Wagyu Olympics. Now in Its Most Tender Cut.

Miyazaki Wagyu won the Prime Minister's Award, the top honor at Japan's National Competitive Exhibition of Wagyu, at four consecutive competitions (2007, 2012, 2017 and 2022), a record no other prefecture has matched. The competition, often called the “Wagyu Olympics,” is held every five years. Miyazaki Prefecture is on the island of Kyushu in southern Japan. This 8oz filet is graded BMS 11, placing it at the very top of what that award-winning program produces, in the most prized cut on the animal.

JPGA Certified | Full Traceability Guaranteed

Every cut of Miyazaki A5 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 traceability infrastructure that governs Japan's domestic beef market, and it is the most definitive proof available that what you are receiving is genuine, prefecture-verified Miyazaki wagyu.

What BMS 11 Actually Means

Japanese A5 Wagyu is graded on a marbling scale of 1 to 12. A BMS score of 11 places this filet at the highest tier commercially available. 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: Miyazaki Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan 

Certification: JPGA Certificate included 

Traceability: Individual cattle ID

Why Miyazaki A5 Filet at BMS 11 Is Exceptionally Rare

The tenderloin is the least-worked muscle on the animal, naturally carrying less intramuscular fat than a ribeye or striploin. Reaching BMS 11 in a filet requires an animal of exceptional genetics and a feeding program of exceptional consistency. Miyazaki's four consecutive Prime Minister's Awards reflect that consistency. At BMS 11, the filet delivers the full depth of Miyazaki's award-winning flavor profile through the cleanest, most delicate cut the animal offers — a combination that is as rare in the market as it is exceptional on the plate.

Production at this grade and cut is extremely limited. BMS 11 filet portions represent only a fraction of what an already tightly controlled prefectural program produces annually.

How to Cook

Instruction
1. Prepare the Steak

Remove the Miyazaki A5 Wagyu Filet Steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30-45 minutes. This step ensures even cooking.

2. Preheat Your Grill or Pan

Preheat your grill or a cast iron skillet over high heat.

3. Cook the Filet Steak

Place the steak on the hot grill or skillet. Sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, targeting an internal temperature of around 130°F (54°C). Avoid pressing down on the steak to retain its juices.

4. Rest the Steak

Once cooked, remove the Filet steak from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a tender and flavorful steak.

5. Slice and Serve

Slice the steak against the grain for maximum tenderness. Serve on a warm plate, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or a drizzle of high-quality olive oil.

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.

Every cut is blast frozen and vacuum sealed before it ships. In Los Angeles, same-day delivery is available: text your concierge at (310) 683-7078.

Where Does Our Wagyu Meat Come From?

We name the origin of every cut. Our Japanese A5 Wagyu comes from Miyazaki, Kagoshima and Hyogo (Kobe Wine), and our Australian Wagyu from established Australian farms, named on each product page. We work directly with farms and their long-standing distributors, and every Japanese A5 order ships with its certificate of authenticity.

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.
