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).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"border: none; border-top: 1px solid #eae8e6; margin: 0 0 28px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 13px; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.1em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #433625; margin: 0 0 14px;\"\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style: none; padding: 0; margin: 0 0 28px; display: flex; flex-direction: column; gap: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-size: 14.5px; color: #000000b5; line-height: 1.6; padding-left: 20px; position: relative;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"position: absolute; left: 0; color: #c9a96e; font-weight: 700;\"\u003e✦\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eA5 Japanese Wagyu\u003c\/strong\u003e, the highest grade awarded by the Japan Meat Grading Association\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-size: 14.5px; color: #000000b5; line-height: 1.6; padding-left: 20px; position: relative;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"position: absolute; left: 0; color: #c9a96e; font-weight: 700;\"\u003e✦\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePremium trimmed cut\u003c\/strong\u003e, a clean, uniform shape and thickness for even searing and neat slices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-size: 14.5px; color: #000000b5; line-height: 1.6; padding-left: 20px; position: relative;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"position: absolute; left: 0; color: #c9a96e; font-weight: 700;\"\u003e✦\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSignature zabuton marbling\u003c\/strong\u003e, fine and evenly spread for a tender, buttery bite with rich umami\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-size: 14.5px; color: #000000b5; line-height: 1.6; padding-left: 20px; position: relative;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"position: absolute; left: 0; color: #c9a96e; font-weight: 700;\"\u003e✦\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePresentation ready\u003c\/strong\u003e, an elegant centerpiece for special dinners or a gift-worthy treat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"border: none; border-top: 1px solid #eae8e6; margin: 0 0 28px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 13px; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.1em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #433625; margin: 0 0 14px;\"\u003eWhat A5 Means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #faf9f7; border-left: 3px solid #c9a96e; padding: 14px 16px; margin: 0 0 28px;\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 13.5px; color: #000000b5; margin: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eIn 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.
