A4

A4 Japanese Wagyu is one step below A5 — still in the top tier of Japanese grading, with BMS 5–7 marbling. It delivers the unmistakable buttery Wagyu texture with cleaner beef flavor, often at 20–30% less per ounce than A5.

Why A4 Is the Smart Entry Point

For first-time Japanese Wagyu buyers, A4 is the better starting point. A5's intensity can be overwhelming if you're used to American steaks; A4 gives you the marbling and tenderness with more recognizable beef flavor. Most repeat Japanese Wagyu customers cycle between A4 and A5 depending on the occasion.
