Wagyu beef is the most luxurious, exquisite, and highly sought-after beef in the world. When you buy Hokkaido, you are getting the best Wagyu from Japan.

Cooking Suggestions
- Best grilled or pan-seared using a hot surface.
- Such a naturally flavorful cut that simple salt and pepper seasoning will suffice for a delicious dish
- Make sure steaks are completely thawed before cooking
- Allow steaks to sit 30-40 minutes to assume room temperature
- Preheat a heavy non-stick pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes. A hot pan sears the best!
- Place your steak in the heated skillet. We recommend you not add oil or cover in order to maximize and protect natural flavor.
- The high fat content requires a longer cooking time — for the ideal medium-rare steak, sear in a skillet for 12–1, turning about 1 minute before the halfway point. A meat thermometer should read 130°F.
- A very important step is to rest your steaks for 5 minutes before serving, covering lightly with foil.
- Resting steak is vital! While cooking, the heat pulls juices in the meat toward the surface of the steak. If you cut into it immediately after cooking, the essential, flavorful juices will be wasted as they spill out onto your plate.
- Allowing your steak to rest will allow the juices time to sink back in where they belong, so they can be distributed throughout the meat, keeping it tender, moist and flavorful.
Wine Pairing
- Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic choice to pair alongside a New York strip steak.
- With its robust, full flavor and oaky, fruity notes, the wine has high tannin levels, high acidity, and a high alcohol content — which team up to counter and compliment the fat of the steak.
Hokkaido Prefecture Tokachi Poroshiri
Tokachi Poroshiri Wagyu is raised in Hokkaido, the second largest, northernmost, and least developed of Japan's four main islands.
The name Poroshiri Wagyu comes from the natural landscape where they are raised, Mount Tokachi Poroshiri, which translates to “Giant Mountain” in the Ainu language. Giant Mountain is known for its hot springs and volcanic landscape - and is one of the highest mountains in all of Japan (Elevation: 1846 m).
The cattle grow strong and healthy at the foot of mountain, which is a verdant green in the summer season, and covered with snow in the winter. This pristine environment is often referred to as God's Paradise.
Where Poroshiri Wagyu are raised, there are stones from ancient times known as “Bakuhan Stones” which are popular for their medicinal and cleansing properties that purify both the surrounding air and water.
Poroshiri Wagyu feed exclusively on the farm’s own grass field in which their feed is grown on, and only drink water that has been purified by Bakuhan stones.
Wagyu is prized for having the famous silky, smooth fat flavor. Poroshiri Wagyu boasts this traditional Wagyu flavor while also featuring an added complex yet mild flavor profile. This flavor is very special; Poroshiri Wagyu has won numerous Meat Fair events across Yokohama, Hokkaido, and all across Japan.
