What is Japanese A5 Wagyu?

From Japanese A5 beef tenderloin medallions to A5 Wagyu ribeye steaks, Allen Brothers is one of the top suppliers of A5 Japanese Wagyu beef and takes pride in providing these exceptional cuts for our customers.

What Does Wagyu A5 Grade Mean?

A5 is the highest possible grade given to Wagyu beef sourced from Japan, signifying the highest quality in terms of marbling, texture, and color. The grading system is based on two key components:

• Yield Grade (A, B, C) – This refers to the amount of usable meat from the carcass. "A" represents the highest yield.
• Quality Grade (1–5) – This evaluates marbling, meat color and brightness, firmness and texture, and fat quality. "5" is the best rating.

So, A5 Wagyu means the beef has the highest possible yield and quality, with exceptional marbling that results in an incredibly rich, buttery texture and deep umami flavor. This grading is primarily used for Japanese Wagyu, such as Matsusaka, Miyazaki, and Kobe beef.

For those familiar with USDA grading, A5 grade Wagyu beef surpasses even the highest USDA Prime grade, offering a mouthwatering and luxurious eating experience.
