Japanese Wagyu Online Shopping Recommendations - NSMall
Japanese Wagyu is renowned far and wide, yet the general public's understanding is limited to it being "better tasting beef" and "more expensive beef." In reality, many people still do not fully understand Japanese Wagyu. As a smart consumer, it is important to familiarize yourself with recommended products before buying Japanese Wagyu online to buy with confidence!
Origin or Breed?
Japanese Wagyu actually refers to a breed of cattle, not the place of origin. It can be divided into four main types: Japanese Black, Japanese Brown, Shorthorn, and Polled breeds. These were bred by crossbreeding native Japanese cattle with foreign breeds since the Meiji era, followed by many generations of genetic improvements to successfully produce these Wagyu breeds. Other cattle raised in Japan but not of these breeds are generally called domestic cattle.
Strict Grading of Japanese Wagyu
Japanese Wagyu grading is strict. The grade is divided by the yield of edible meat (A, B, C), with Grade A meaning a yield of over 72%. The meat grade is scored out of 5 based on four criteria: marbling, meat quality, meat color, and fat color and quality. A5 is the highest grade, with the richest marbling, best meat quality, and color. Due to Japan’s strict breeding methods and quality control, as well as limited supply, Japanese Wagyu is more expensive than ordinary beef.
Kagoshima Wagyu
Different regions produce Wagyu. Kagoshima, the southernmost prefecture well-known for livestock farming, produces high-quality Japanese Black Wagyu. Its ideal farming environment and traditional methods maintain high quantity and quality production, with over 100,000 cattle produced yearly, the highest in Japan. Besides domestic supply, Kagoshima Wagyu is also exported internationally. It won the overall championship at the 11th National Wagyu Competition, earning the nickname "Japan's Best Wagyu."

Is A5 the most delicious grade of Japanese Wagyu?
The A5 grade of Japanese Wagyu represents the most tender meat and the richest marbling. Although it is the most expensive and top-tier in all aspects, it does not necessarily mean it is the most delicious. Taste depends on personal preference and cooking method.
