JAPANESE KOBE BEEF A5 RIBEYE STEAK
JAPANESE KOBE BEEF A5
BMS 8-12 (EXCEPTIONAL)
No cow comes into this world and begins its life as Kobe beef. Kobe beef refers to cuts taken from the Tajima strain of Wagyu cattle raised in Hyogo Prefecture (Japan).
Even among “Tajima-Gyu” (Tajima cattle), only the chosen few that satisfy the specific quality criteria set out by the Kobe Beef Marketing and Distribution Promotion Association deserve the title "Kobe Beef".
Calves are given only the very best feed - rice straw, maize, barley and other cereals - and receive only fresh, clean water to drink. Their meat matures to the ideal quality and texture from the minimum age of 28 months to an average age of 32 months.
The fine, delicate meat has a high degree of fat marbling that melts at low temperatures, together with tender fibres and its own uniquely refined sweetness and aroma.
Cooking Kobe Steaks
We recommend that Japanese Kobe steaks are cooked a little longer than normal - medium-rare or even medium. This allows the intramuscular fat to caramelise and become crisp which once rested still allows the steak to be perfectly tender while realising the true flavour of the wagyu.
The steaks are cut and then rapidly frozen to -28° in a matter of minutes. This process offers two major advantages, one being zero food waste and the other helping to keep the meat in amazing condition. Red meat naturally discolours after a few hours so blast freezing is the ultimate way to keep the steak as fresh as it is when first cut.
