It's Kuroge (Japanese Black) wagyu — A5 is the top grade in Japan's beef system, and BMS 10+ is at the high end of the marbling scale. A 5 lb frozen bloc that serves 5–7.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"seto-p\"\u003eThe marbling (sashi) is what separates wagyu from Western beef — the intramuscular fat melts at a low temperature, turning the meat tender and rich. As a whole bloc rather than pre-cut steaks, it lets you portion to your own thickness, which suits BBQ, yakiniku, and steak alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"seto-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"seto-h3\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"seto-spec-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKagoshima, Japan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKuroge (Japanese Black) Wagyu\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCut\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRibeye bloc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA5 (highest Japanese beef grade)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBMS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eServes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5–7 people\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eState\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrozen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"seto-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"seto-h3\"\u003eHow to enjoy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"seto-p\"\u003eThaw slowly in the refrigerator, then portion to the thickness you want.
