A5 Grain-Fed The Pinnacle of Japanese Beef","description":"\u003cpre style=\"font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size:16px; line-height:1.6; color:#333; white-space:pre-wrap; background:#fafafa; border-radius:8px;\"\u003eSearch on the internet and you will find prices from ฿3,800 to ฿8,000 per kilo. This beef deserves that premium price. However, as a member of Bangkok Beef, you get the wholesale price.\n\nExperience the \"Best of the Best.\" Sourced from the sun-drenched pastures of Kagoshima Prefecture, this A5 Striploin represents the ultimate achievement in Japanese meat craftsmanship. Kagoshima Wagyu, known as \"Kagoshima Kuroushi,\" is a multiple-time winner of the Wagyu Olympics, most recently securing the prestigious Prime Minister’s Award in 2022 for its unparalleled quality and breeding excellence. \n\nWhy Kagoshima A5?\n\nA5 Grade Excellence: This is the highest possible rating awarded by the Japanese government, ensuring every aspect of the beef meets rigorous standards for intramuscular marbling and texture. \n\nMelt-in-Your-Mouth Texture: With an incredible marbling score (BMS 8-12), the delicate fat has a remarkably low melting point (around 25°C), ensuring it literally dissolves on your palate. \n\nRich Umami Flavor: Unlike standard beef, Kagoshima Wagyu offers complex buttery and nutty notes with a deep, lingering umami finish.\n\nSurprising Health Benefits: Despite its richness, this A5 cut is packed with healthy monounsaturated fats like oleic acid and essential Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, which are beneficial for cardiovascular health.\n\nThe Striploin (New York Strip) Cut\n\nThe striploin is prized for offering a perfect balance between intense buttery marbling and substantial beefy flavor. It is a versatile prestige cut ideal for pan-searing, grilling, or precise teppanyaki preparation. \n\nChef’s Recommendation: How to Prepare\nTo fully appreciate a cut of this caliber, keep it simple:\n\nThaw Slowly: Allow the beef to thaw in the refrigerator for 24 hours to protect the delicate fats.\n\nSimple Seasoning: Use only sea salt and a touch of black pepper to allow the natural Wagyu flavor to shine.\n\nHigh-Heat Sear: Sear in a heavy iron skillet for 1–2 minutes per side until a golden crust forms, keeping the interior medium-rare (around 130°F\/55°C) to maximize the \"melt\" factor. \n\nRest: Let the steak rest for 2–5 minutes before slicing thinly into bite-sized pieces.\u003c\/pre\u003e","brand":"Bangkok Beef","offers":[{"title":"4pc x 250g (1Kg ±50g)","offer_id":42251762073655,"sku":"bb9745","price":2595.0,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true},{"title":"3pc x 400g (1.2Kg ±60g)","offer_id":42251762106423,"sku":"bb9745","price":3115.0,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0593\/0578\/7447\/files\/bb9745-1.png?v=1783245994","url":"https:\/\/bangkokbeef.com\/products\/bb9745","provider":"Bangkok Beef","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
