This is one of the most exceptional shipments of Japanese Wagyu we have ever brought into Alpine Butcher. This collection comes from a single authentic Kobe Beef steer that graded BMS 12, the highest possible score on the Japanese Beef Marbling Standard, and received the prestigious Honor Award at the 19th Himeji Market Carcass Competition in Japan. The Honor Award is given to only one animal at the competition, recognizing an exceptional carcass among the cattle presented at the event.
Kobe Beef is widely regarded as the most prestigious and internationally recognized brand of Japanese Wagyu, produced exclusively from Tajima cattle raised in Hyogo Prefecture and meeting some of Japan's strictest certification standards.
The original award plaque accompanied this Kobe Beef to Alpine Butcher, giving us something extraordinarily rare: the opportunity to offer cuts from an individually recognized, award winning Kobe animal.
Every cut in this collection comes from this exact BMS 12 Kobe steer.
That allows us to offer far more than the ribeyes and strip steaks most people associate with Kobe Beef. We broke down the entire set, producing everything from world class steakhouse cuts to extremely limited Japanese specialty cuts, secondary steaks, yakiniku, kabobs and even Kobe burgers, all originating from the same animal.
One Animal. One Award. BMS 12 Kobe Beef.
Authentic Kobe Beef. BMS 12, the highest possible marbling score. Recipient of the Himeji Market Honor Award. One single animal. Extremely limited.
When a cut from this animal sells out, it is gone.
