Learn about how we label beef and Beef Grading Standards
If you are sharing a roast, this is possibly the best to share. Why? It will be the most consistent eating experience out of them all. That said... it isnt as rich and buttery as the Ribeye.
This Striploin (aka New York Strip roast) is an IMPRESSIVE roast. You can slice it into steaks or cook it as a roast... it is so tender and buttery its like eating a could of beef.
Some prefer the striploin to the RibEye as it is less rich, specially when it comes to A5 beef.
Miyazakigyu Wagyu is the #1 Wagyu brand in Japan and supply stateside is quite limited. This steaks are usually sold for $35-$50 per oz at top steakhouses.
ABOUT A5
A5 Miyazaky beef is measured on five factors: (1) marbling, (2) meat color and brightness, (3) firmness and texture of meat, and (4) color, luster and quality of fat.
In the quality grade, the lowest score from the four items of the yield grade is adopted. In other words, even if grade 5 was given to marbling, color and brightness, and firmness and texture, and only fat assessments was grade 4, the quality grade of this beef is classified as grade 4. Quality grading is severely done.
A5 means this beef excels in every single factor.It has a gorgeous webbing of fat that will make you feel a creamy mouth-feel in each bite. Its literally like tasting a cloud... a cloud of beef.
Like all of our steaks, they come vacuum sealed and have been hand-cut by our expert butchers.
THE MIYAZAKI-GYU DIFFERENCE
At Meat N' Bone we made the conscious decision of selling not only Miyazaki A5 but Miyazaki Gyu because it is the best in the world. Other Wagyu from the area that do not meet the criteria for Miyazakigyu must be sold as "Miyazaki Kensan Gyu" or "Beef from Miyazaki Prefecture."
All Miyazakigyu is Wagyu but not all Wagyu is Miyazakigyu. Miyazakigyu is one step above Miyazaki Wagyu and is the cream of the crop of all Wagyu from Miyazaki. It is quite literally the best beef in the world.
All five years, national “Wagyu Olympics” are being held to determine Japan’s, and therefore the world’s, best Wagyu. In September 2017, the Miyazaki-gyu was ranked 1st. for the third time in a consecutive row, this being a first in Japanese history and therefore rightfully enabled to use the title “Best Wagyu in the World”.
You can and will find cheaper A5 beef. In fact, even Kobe beef is cheaper. But we chose to offer the best beef in the world at the most affordable price that we could.
