Japanese Wagyu

Ligma Provisions sources Japanese A5, A4, A3, and F1 Kozatsu Wagyu directly from 200+ rotating Japanese brands — Miyazaki, Kagoshima, Hokkaido, Sanuki Olive-Fed, Satsuma, Shimane, Kozatsu Rokko, and beyond. Every cut is certificate-backed, hand-portioned in our USDA-approved facility, and shipped frozen with dry ice to maintain steakhouse quality on arrival.

Japanese Wagyu Grades Explained

A5 Japanese Wagyu sits at the top of Japan's grading system — BMS 8–12 marbling, the buttery, melts-in-your-mouth experience most people picture when they hear "Wagyu." A4 Japanese Wagyu (BMS 5–7) delivers cleaner beef flavor with still-extraordinary marbling, often at 20–30% less per ounce. A3 Japanese Wagyu is the entry tier — BMS 3–4, still certificate-backed and Japan-grown, at the most approachable price point.

F1 Kozatsu — The Hidden Gem

F1 Kozatsu is a specialty Japanese Wagyu lineage from the Rokko region — bred for a cleaner texture and approachable richness that sits outside the standard A-grade ladder. Unmistakably Japanese in character, but a different eating experience from A5 or A4. Learn more about Kozatsu Wagyu →
