Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our premium beef
What makes Akaushi Wagyu different from other beef?
Akaushi beef contains higher concentrations of monounsaturated fat and oleic acid, providing a distinct buttery flavor and superior health profile compared to standard cattle.
How is the beef packaged for shipping?
Our beef is vacuum-sealed at peak freshness and shipped in insulated coolers with dry ice or gel packs to ensure it arrives at the perfect temperature.
Are your cattle hormone and antibiotic-free?
Yes, our Akaushi cattle are raised on a natural diet without the use of growth hormones or preventative antibiotics.
Does the beef arrive frozen or fresh?
To preserve the integrity of the marbling, most cuts are flash-frozen immediately after processing and shipped frozen.
What is the best way to thaw my Wagyu steaks?
We recommend slow-thawing in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Avoid using microwaves or hot water, as this can damage the delicate fat structure.
Is your beef graded by the USDA?
Yes, all our beef is USDA inspected and consistently grades at the highest levels of Prime due to the intense marbling of the Akaushi breed.
