A5 Japanese Wagyu Shabu-Shabu Chuck – Ultra Thin Sliced

Experience authentic A5 Japanese Wagyu shabu-shabu chuck, thinly sliced for traditional hot pot, sukiyaki, and quick-sear preparations. Sourced from certified A5 Wagyu cattle in Japan, this cut delivers exceptional marbling, buttery richness, and a melt-in-your-mouth texture that defines true Japanese Wagyu.

The chuck is an underrated Wagyu cut that excels when sliced paper-thin. Its intense marbling renders instantly when dipped into hot broth or lightly swished on a hot pan, releasing deep umami flavor without heaviness. Each slice cooks in seconds, making it ideal for interactive dining and refined home meals.

Our A5 Wagyu shabu-shabu chuck is expertly sliced and frozen at peak quality to preserve structure, color, and flavor. No additives, no shortcuts—just pure Japanese Wagyu prepared to professional standards.

Cooking tips

If frozen, thaw slowly, like overnight in the refrigerator.

The New York Strip offers a nice balance between firmness and fat content. Giving you a flavorful bite that is leaner than a Ribeye or Filet Mignon.

Season lightly, use a very hot pan (like a cast iron skillet) and sear each side for about 2-3 minutes.

Questions about this Nordic Selection

Why A5 Japanese Wagyu beef?

What better beef to go with the "best sashimi grade" seafood?

Not only is this authentic Japanese wagyu, it is A5, the highest grading you can get.

The Nordic Selections catalog only includes products considered "best in class".

What's the difference from Australian Wagyu and others?

If you are looking for true, authentic wagyu, Japan is the only place to get it.

Any other "wagyu" are hybrids and only made by cross-breeding different species of cow, yielding very different flavors and textures.

Our wagyu is 100% Japanese.

Why is Nordic Catch wagyu better?

Many shops out there give you thin cuts to save on cost!

Nordic Catch ensures that every piece is a full size cut as you'd expect from any steak!
