A5 Japanese Wagyu · Chuck Flap (Zabuton) · Premium Cut
A5 Japanese Wagyu Chuck Flap Premium, 0.4 lb,
Zabuton, Trimmed and Ready for the Steak Pan
Our premium cut takes the chuck flap (살치살), known in Japan as zabuton, and trims it into a clean, uniform piece with consistent thickness from edge to edge. That shape means it sears evenly and slices into beautiful, matching portions, making it the version to choose for a steak dinner or a plate you want to show off. Expect everything the zabuton is loved for: fine, lace-like marbling spread evenly across the cut, buttery tenderness, and a deep beefy flavor that holds its own against any loin. 0.4 lb of A5 Wagyu from Japanese Black cattle (Kuroge Washu, 흑모와규).
Why You'll Love It
- ✦ A5 Japanese Wagyu, the highest grade awarded by the Japan Meat Grading Association
- ✦ Premium trimmed cut, a clean, uniform shape and thickness for even searing and neat slices
- ✦ Signature zabuton marbling, fine and evenly spread for a tender, buttery bite with rich umami
- ✦ Presentation ready, an elegant centerpiece for special dinners or a gift-worthy treat
What A5 Means
In Japan, every Wagyu carcass is graded by the Japan Meat Grading Association (JMGA) on two scales: yield grade (A to C) and meat quality grade (1 to 5), which looks at marbling, meat color and brightness, firmness and texture, and fat color and quality. A5 is the top of both scales and requires a Beef Marbling Standard (BMS) score of 8 to 12. Only beef raised and graded in Japan can carry the A5 grade.
Ways to Enjoy
- ✦ Seared steak, in a pan or on a grill over medium-high heat: about 2 minutes per side for rare (rest 2 minutes), or 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare (rest 4 minutes)
- ✦ Sliced tasting plate, rested and cut across the grain, served with flaky sea salt and fresh wasabi
- ✦ Premium yakiniku, sliced thick and grilled briefly, flipping only twice so the first side gets most of the heat
🔥
Tip: Use very little oil. A5 fat renders quickly, so a hot pan and a pinch of salt are all you need.
