What is it?

A5 chuck roll from Aoyagi Farm in Iga, Mie, sliced to 1.8mm: thick enough for sukiyaki, thin enough for shabu-shabu. 500g serves three to four, shipped chilled. BMS 9, and the fat-to-lean ratio of this cut is what makes it a hot-pot cut.

Good for

  • An evening around a hot pot with family or friends
  • A gift to bring home at New Year or Obon
  • Anyone who wants volume rather than a single steak
  • A showpiece dinner that takes almost no cooking

What does it taste like?

  • The fat is sweet enough that sugar and soy sauce alone season it; no stock needed
  • For shabu-shabu, three seconds a side in the water is plenty
  • Roughly 6:4 lean to fat, which keeps the later rounds from feeling heavy
  • 500g feeds three to four adults, or a family of four with children

How do you cook it?

  • 01

    Take it out of the fridge 20 minutes before you cook, still chilled but not cold

  • 02

    Sukiyaki: melt beef fat in the pan, lay slices flat, shake over a tablespoon of sugar and two of soy sauce, turn after ten seconds

  • 03

    Shabu-shabu: hold kombu broth at 80–85°C, never boiling, three seconds a side

  • 04

    Add vegetables after the beef, so they cook in the fat that has rendered out

  • 05

    Leftovers: shred and simmer with egg the next day rather than reheating slices whole

The maker

About the maker

In Iga they do not make sukiyaki with a pre-mixed sauce. You melt beef fat in the pan, lay the slices flat, and shake sugar and soy sauce straight onto the meat. The fat and the sugar meet on the surface, and the first slice is always the strongest. That is the local way.

From the person who chose it

Slices are cut at 1.8mm, slightly thinner than the sukiyaki standard of around 2mm, slightly thicker than shabu-shabu's 1.5mm. One thickness that does both. It is machine-cut, but the blade is sharpened daily and the meat goes through half-frozen.

Can it be sent as a gift?

A gift box of beef packed with cold packs and finished with a paper band

Fanned onto a wooden tray lined with thin cedar sheet, vacuum-sealed and shipped chilled. Noshi paper, presentation box and message cards available, with a bilingual cooking sheet inside.

Noshi is the paper slip that traditionally accompanies a gift in Japan. Outer noshi goes over the wrapping, so the occasion is visible at a glance. Inner noshi goes under it, for a more understated gift, and is the usual choice for anything shipped.

Questions

Where in Japan can you deliver this?
Anywhere in Japan. Shipping is ¥1,320 (refrigerated delivery) and takes 3–5 business days after dispatch.
Can you deliver to my hotel while I am in Japan?
Meat cannot leave Japan under animal quarantine rules, and it cannot be left at a hotel. Japanese addresses only.
Can you ship this abroad?
Meat cannot leave Japan under animal quarantine rules, and it cannot be left at a hotel. Japanese addresses only.
Does it need refrigeration?
It travels refrigerated the whole way. Redelivery keeps the cold chain, but please pick a date you can be in for. Chilled and frozen items cannot be sent to a hotel.
How long does it keep?
Four days from dispatch at 4°C or below, and it is best on the day it arrives or the day after. If you cannot eat it in time, divide it into portions and freeze for up to a month.
Can you send it frozen instead?
Yes: write frozen in the order notes. Frozen extends the window to sixty days, at the cost of a little moisture loss on thawing. If you already know the date you will eat it, choose chilled.
Can you gift wrap it?
Yes. The noshi inscription is picked from a list: seasonal gifts, celebrations, thanks, with the giver's name added free. The chilled outer carton is unbranded, and there's no invoice in the box.
Ingredients and allergens?
Beef only, from Iga in Mie Prefecture. The declarable allergen present is beef; the facility also handles wheat, egg, milk and soy.
