Tsukimi Premium A5 Wagyu Ribeye comes from the Kagoshima Prefecture, from Kagoshima Black Cattle raised in the Island region of Kyushu. Otherwise known as Kagoshima Black Beef, cattle from this region are known to be one of the best wagyu breeds in Japan, taking top spot in the Wagyu Olympics, beating out Miyazaki Prefecture which previously held the coveted title.

The marbling and fat within a Kagoshima Wagyu is has also scored high on health-promoting and umami-generating oleic acid, found in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids which gives it its unique flavour. This premium cut promises an intense sweet, buttery flavour, that promises a melt in your mouth flavour that will move epicureans to tears.
