A5 Wagyu Rib Cap Loin (Ribeye Cap),
The Rarest, Most Marbled Cut on the Steer

The Rib Cap (Ribeye Cap, or 크라운 로인) is widely considered the most coveted section of the entire steer. Wrapped around the outside of the ribeye, it is the single most marbled muscle on the animal, dense with fat, extraordinarily tender, and available only in very limited quantities. At A5 grade, the highest possible Japanese Wagyu certification, this cut represents the absolute pinnacle of beef. Large format loin block for custom slicing to your preferred thickness.
