Standing Stone A5 Japanese Wagyu Chuck Shabu Shabu (Avg Weight 8 oz - 1.0 lb / pack)
The "Snowflake" Experience — Instant Melt, Intense Umami. This is the pinnacle of beef texture. Sourced directly from Japan, this A5 Wagyu comes from the Chuck (shoulder) section. In standard beef, the chuck is a tough pot roast cut, but with A5 Wagyu, it is a masterpiece of marbling. The intense intramuscular fat creates a "snowflake" pattern, turning the meat a delicate pink-white. We slice it paper-thin, specifically for Shabu Shabu. Because of the heavy marbling, these thin ribbons of meat do not need to be chewed; they literally melt on the tongue, coating the palate in rich, sweet, buttery umami fat that is distinct to authentic Japanese cattle.
Why It’s a Staple: It is the ultimate interactive luxury meal. Shabu Shabu (named for the "swish-swish" sound of meat in broth) is a communal dining experience. It requires zero prep time for the cook—just arrange the beautiful meat on a platter and let guests cook their own slices at the table. It turns dinner into an event.
The Specs:
-
Brand: Standing Stone (Imported)
-
Cut: Chuck Roll (Sliced Thin for Shabu Shabu)
-
Grade: A5 Japanese Wagyu
-
Origin: Japan
-
Portion Size: Avg 8 oz - 1.0 lb Tray
💡 The Chef’s Method: Swish, dip, and eat immediately.
-
The Broth: Keep it simple. A piece of Kombu (kelp) in hot water is traditional. You do not want a heavy, spicy broth masking the delicate beef flavor.
-
The Swish: Pick up a single slice with chopsticks. Submerge it in the simmering (not boiling) broth. Swish it back and forth for exactly 3 to 5 seconds.
-
The Color: You want it to turn slightly pink-grey. Do not let it turn fully grey-brown. If you drop the meat into the pot and walk away, you have ruined it.
-
The Dip: Immediately dip into Ponzu (citrus soy) to cut the richness or Goma (sesame sauce) to enhance it. The fat begins to melt at room temperature, so it cooks instantly.
-
Target Temp: Rare / Flash Poached.
