Kumamoto | "The King of Wagyu" | A5 BMS 10 | Ribeye

The Kumamoto A5 Wagyu originates from the extreme southern island of Kyushu, in the prefecture of Kumamoto, Japan. These black cattle are actually the only free grazing cattle in all of Japan. They graze around the sacred volcano of Mt Aso where the herd is limited to a population of less than 60,000 head.

Kumamoto cattle produce a carcase quality and consistency superior to almost all other breeds. It naturally contains enhanced marbling throughout which results in an intense buttery flavor as well as juiciness and extreme tenderness. The marbling contains a higher percentage of monounsaturated fat than any other beef breed including the more popular strain from Kobe, and is recognized for its health benefits.
