Black Hair House offers A5-grade Miyazaki beef as sukiyaki and shabu-shabu. Japanese wagyu sirloin is also well-suited for these cooking styles. For shabu-shabu, Deputy Chef Wu Yongzhi of Black Hair House recommends keeping the broth temperature around 90 degrees Celsius (not boiling), then lightly swishing the meat until it reaches medium-rare for the best texture. As for sukiyaki, the Miyazaki beef is first placed in a cast-iron pot, where its own fat renders to bring out the aroma, before sukiyaki sauce is added. The meat is eaten first, followed by the other ingredients.

▲ Japanese wagyu becomes even more delicious when dipped in egg yolk.

Kanpai Yakiniku Izakaya will officially launch A5-grade Miyazaki beef “thinly sliced wagyu sirloin” on October 18. Deputy Chef Liu Weizhong noted that wagyu sirloin has evenly distributed marbling and tender meat. For grilling, medium-rare is ideal—grill one side until golden brown, then flip and grill briefly on the other side.
