Nordic Catch Grade A5 Japanese Wagyu Steak Without Bone, Always Fresh Thick Cut, Skin-Packed 100% Authentic A5 Wagyu Steak from Kagoshima Reserve - Great Gift

The best steak I've ever had. Yes it's expensive but I heard about and had to try it. Glad I did

Very tender melts in your mouth like butter reminds me of bacon on taste great quality and gift

Was exactly as described. Delicious. I'm not sure it's worth the cost - but it was good.

A third was completely inedible. Just a huge block of fat through and through.

Price doesn’t matter. Quality is more important

Obviously a very expensive price of meat. Can definitely be made for sharing up to 4 people on just one of these steaks. I bought it to use as an appetizer treat by cutting into strips after being cooked on med-high heat salted on both sides in my hexclad pan cooking three minutes on both sides.Let steak rest on a pre-warmed plate for 3min. Added a little cracked black pepper, cut it into thin strips for each person to try. Each of the 4 people got 8 strips from the steak. I pasteurized some fresh eggs in my sous vide water cooker for one hour and 30 minutes 135 degrees. Cracked them open and Seperated the egg yolk from the white, putting the perfectly silky and runny egg yolk in a small finger bowl to dip the strips of beef in as desired.The beef was rich in flavor, with a buttery texture. Dipping the strips into the runny egg yolk, added a pleasant silky texture to the meat. I ate 4 of my strips straight with just seasoned with coarse salt and cracked blk pepper to get the full effect of the rich beef taste kobe provides. I dipped the other 4 strips in my running egg yolk - WHICH was perfectly safe to eat because while cooking in the sous vide water bath, pasteurized the eggs making them safe to consume in a raw like state.The egg yolk added a nice creaminess to the already soft and buttery texture of the meat making it rich and decadent and complimented the kobes strong beef flavor.It was a real treat! I bought American wagu from Australia at $16/LB for the main steak course. Wasn't marbled to anywhere the extent of the kobe from Japan but, still had a nice flavor and texture. We served the American wagu first and served the Japanese kobe as an after dinner appetizer for a finisher. If you feed the people the Japanese kobe first as an appetizer, it will ruin the enjoyment of lesser cost of the American wagu

This steak is melt in your mouth delicious. Treat yourself- you will not regret it!Update: just purchased 2 more filets and a ribeye. This meat is addictive, truly flavorful, melt in your mouth.Update: my latest order came a few days late and defrosted/warm and rotten. Sadly the seller didnt help me but Amazon refunded me. This will not stop me ordering again as i love the product when they get it right.

I decided to treat myself for my birthday. I had never had A5 Wagyu filet, so after looking at the price, I took a deep breath and took the plunge. Package arrived in good shape, nice and cold. The ice packs were about half melted. I left them on the counter for about an hour. I took them out of the package uh-oh! As you can see from my photo one is beautifully marbled, the other not so much. Based on this company’s own information one of these would have rated a BMS-5 grade 4. That’s right in line with US Prime, not Japanese A5 Wagyu.I seared them in a skillet and served at a perfect 130 degrees, paired with a loaded baked potato casserole. Yes they were good, one certainly better than the other. I would give the nicely marbled one a 9/10, the other an 7/10.Bottom line: When making very expensive food purchases, diminishing returns has to be applied. The price of two Prime filets is $48, these were $250. So is it worth it? At 5X the price? Absolutely not.
