No. II — Provenance

Specifications
worth reading twice.

Every cut is traceable to a single herd, a single grader, a single rating. The numbers below are not marketing — they are the conditions of the product.

Origin
Hyōgo
Highlands of western Honshū, the source of the world's most prized Wagyu lineages.
Lineage
Tajima
The foundational bloodline behind Kobe and other premium Wagyu designations.
Grade
A5
The highest quality grade in the Japan Meat Grading Association system.
Marbling
BMS 10+
The top three increments of the twelve-point Beef Marbling Standard scale.
Aged
30 Days
Post-graded dry aging develops umami depth without compromising texture.
Cut
12 oz
Center-cut ribeye, hand-portioned, vacuum-sealed at peak freshness.
No. IV — The Distinction

Most "wagyu"
is not.

i.

Born and raised in Japan

Genuine Japanese Wagyu is born, raised, and processed within Japan. Outside its borders, the word "wagyu" is unregulated — most beef sold under the name is American crossbred stock.

Every Wagyubi cut traces to a single registered Japanese herd, with verifiable lineage shipped alongside.
ii.

Tajima lineage, BMS 10+

The Tajima bloodline is the foundational ancestor of every premium Wagyu designation, including Kobe. Marbling is graded on a 1–12 scale; A5 begins at 8. Ours starts at 10.

The intramuscular fat liquefies just below body temperature, dissolving on the cutting board.
iii.

Direct, no intermediaries

Restaurants buy through brokers and add three to five times markup for service and rent. We work with the Japanese herds and graders directly — the same beef, without the architecture in between.

Flash-frozen at peak, vacuum sealed, shipped on dry ice in two to three days.

Ten Minutes Active

No. VII — The House

A small house,
a single cut.

Wagyubi works with a single network of registered Tajima-line herds in the Hyōgo prefecture — the highlands of western Honshū, the same source region that produces Kobe and Matsusaka.

Every cut is graded by JMGA inspectors at origin, sealed within hours, and dry-aged thirty days post-grading. We sell one product, in one weight, at one price — because that is the cut we believe is worth shipping.

No. IX — In Their Words

From those who
have cooked it.

★★★★★

It tasted exactly like the A5 I had at a Michelin-starred place in Tokyo. Same beef. My kitchen. A third of the price.

The marbling actually melts on the cutting board. I have spent two hundred dollars on lesser steaks at restaurants. We will be doing this again.
