A5 Kobe wine beef is a unique and luxurious type of beef from the Hyogo prefecture in Japan, the same region famous for traditional Kobe beef. Its "A5" designation signifies the highest possible grade awarded by the Japan Meat Grading Association, indicating exceptional yield and quality.


The cattle, which are of the Tajima strain of Japanese Black cattle, are raised with a distinctive feeding method that includes byproducts from local wine production. This diet, which is rich in polyphenols from the fermented grapes, is believed to reduce stress and improve the overall health of the animals.


The resulting beef is known for its remarkable marbling—an intricate web of intramuscular fat that contributes to its delicate texture and rich flavor. This marbling gives the beef a subtle, buttery quality and a complex taste profile with hints of fruitiness and umami, complementing the natural beef notes. The meat is exceptionally tender, offering a truly refined dining experience.
