Not all wagyu is created equally. Hamada explains that wagyu translates simply as “Japanese cattle,” meaning that it covers a considerable range of beef under four official breeds. Amongst them, by far the most popular is the Japanese Black which represents around 90% of the country’s cattle. From this 90%, only around 4,000 to 5,000 of them annually make the official grade as Kobe beef. That rarity is what makes the very best wagyu so pricey.
Japan’s Meat Grading Association grades each wagyu carcass based on its yield from A thru C as well as its marbling, color, firmness and quality from 1 to 5, making A5 the highest possible score. Some countries, however, breed their own non pure-blood wagyu, at varying degrees of authenticity and quality. American wagyu, while delicious, since it is usually cross-bred with angus cattle, it will produce a different marbling pattern, as you can see in the picture above, where the American wagyu on top isn’t as rich as the A5 wagyu on the bottom. And if you see ‘wagyu meatballs’ on a menu, for example, you can be highly confident that it’s not the luxury version you normally associate with the term.
