This is hands-down the most popular beef in Brazil. Picanha (pronounced pee-KAHN-yah) is known states-side as Top Sirloin Cap, Fat On… and the fat is what makes all the difference.

While Picanha is best cooked in open flames (charcoal or wood), it can also be cooked with gas or in the oven

This is the best Picanha in the world and it is extremely hard to procure. This is an extremely rare find… in fact, outside of Meat N’ Bone we had never seen it before.

Miyazakigyu Wagyu is the #1 Wagyu brand in Japan and supply stateside is quite limited. This steaks are usually sold for $35-$50 per oz at top steakhouses. 

We also carry a steak version of this Picanha, check it out here! 

ABOUT A5

A5 Miyazaky beef is measured on five factors: (1) marbling, (2) meat color and brightness, (3) firmness and texture of meat, and (4) color, luster and quality of fat.

In the quality grade, the lowest score from the four items of the yield grade is adopted. In other words, even if grade 5 was given to marbling, color and brightness, and firmness and texture, and only fat assessments was grade 4, the quality grade of this beef is classified as grade 4. Quality grading is severely done.

A5 means this beef excels in every single factor.It has a gorgeous webbing of fat that will make you feel a creamy mouth-feel in each bite. Its literally like tasting a cloud… a cloud of beef.

Like all of our steaks, they come vacuum sealed and have been hand-cut by our expert butchers. 

THE MIYAZAKI-GYU DIFFERENCE

At Meat N’ Bone we made the conscious decision of selling not only Miyazaki A5  but Miyazaki Gyu because it is the best in the world.  Other Wagyu from the area that do not meet the criteria for Miyazakigyu must be sold as “Miyazaki Kensan Gyu” or “Beef from Miyazaki Prefecture.” 

All Miyazakigyu is Wagyu but not all Wagyu is Miyazakigyu. Miyazakigyu is one step above Miyazaki Wagyu and is the cream of the crop of all Wagyu from Miyazaki. It is quite literally the best beef in the world.

Every five years, national “Wagyu Olympics” are being held to determine Japan’s, and therefore the world’s, best Wagyu. Miyazaki-Gyu is the only Wagyu Program to win this award twice in a row (2007 and 2012) and then be a runner up in 2017.

You can and will find cheaper A5 beef. In fact, even Kobe beef is cheaper. But we chose to offer the best beef in the world at the most affordable price that we could.
