Shabu Shabu is not only fun to say, but insanely delicious. This is one of the most luxurious cuts of beef you can buy (Japanese A5 Wagyu New York Strip Steak) cut into paper thin slices that can be used for so many great dishes, or shared as small bites amongst friends. It is intensely marbled, decadent, and packed with umami flavor. Shabu Shabu is a Japanese hotpot dish of thinly sliced meat and vegetables boiled in water and served with dipping sauces. The term comes from the “swish swish” sound of the meat being stirred into the cooking pot.While there are many other traditional Japanese dishes that can be prepared with this cut such as teriyaki steak rolls, nikujaga, gyudon, & niku udon, this is also the perfect cut for an outer-worldly Philly cheesesteak. Or enjoy on its own by cooking on a screaming hot pan for just a few seconds on each side with a pinch of salt.

Kagoshima Farms

Kagoshima's A5 Wagyu, a 'Wagyu Olympics' champion, is renowned for its intense marbling, offering a decadent, melt-in-your-mouth experience. It stands as one of the finest Japanese Wagyu options available.

Award-Winning Wagyu

Since 1966, Japan's beef industry has held a nationwide competition every five years to crown the best beef in the country. Known as "The Wagyu Olympics" (Zenkoku Wagyu Noryku Kyoshin-kai / 全国和牛能力共進会), it features 11 prize categories. One interesting category measures the quality of fats, looking for health-promoting and umami-generating oleic acid. There is also an overall winner based on the average scores across all categories. In 2017 and 2022, Kagoshima beef took the top prize based on overall contest scores (総合得点による「団体賞」は、鹿児島県が１位). You could say that Kagoshima's A5 Wagyu is among the very best Japanese beef you can buy!

Melt-In-Your-Mouth Flavor

A5 Wagyu gets its legendary flavor from intense marbling. Get ready for a sweet, buttery, and decadent delight with every bite.

And there's science to back up the happy dance your taste buds are doing. Research shows that beef from Kuroge-washu contains more omega-3, omega-6, and monounsaturated fatty acids (the good fats) than other beef. The unique composition of A5 Wagyu means it melts at room temperature, so it's no exaggeration to say it "melts in your mouth." This is just another reason why Japanese Wagyu is considered the pinnacle of the beef world.
