What is Wagyu Beef?
Wagyu literally means "Japanese cattle." These breeds are famous for intense marbling. That's the fine, spider-web-like fat within the muscle that makes beef rich, tasty and packed with flavor. At Chu's our Wagyu offerings are fully kosher and arrive factory-sealed under reliable kosher certifications. World class beef with total peace of mind.
Japanese Lineage
The genetics of the kosher wagyu beef we source can be traced to one of the four original bloodlines of Japanese wagyu cattle. We conduct annual genetic testing to ensure authenticity with the AWA.
Crossbred & Fullblood
Kosher Wagyu Beef is available as crossbred or fullblood. These terms refer to the genetics of the cattle, more specifically the percentage of their genetics that are wagyu.
Packed Protein
Our Kosher Wagyu Beef contains high amounts of omega 3 fatty acids. The healthy fats found in wagyu beef are proven to lower LDL while increasing HDL. Translation, wagyu beef is a superfood!

Kosher Wagyu FAQs
What is Kosher Wagyu beef?
Wagyu is a Japanese breed of cattle with a specific genetic trait: instead of fat sitting on the outside of the muscle, it develops within the muscle fibers themselves. That's the marbling you see in the photos, and it's why Wagyu tastes the way it does. Rich, buttery, and genuinely unlike conventional beef. Kosher Wagyu is that same beef, raised and processed under strict kosher supervision with Glatt Kosher certification throughout. Most of the kosher world hasn't had real access to it. That's exactly why we built Chu's.
What Kosher Certification does your wagyu have?
Our Wagyu is certified Glatt Kosher under Star-K, through Landsman Meat Company and Letovim Meats. One of the most widely recognized kosher agencies in the country. Supervision covers the entire chain: farm, slaughter, processing, packing, and sealing. Star-K is accepted across virtually all Ashkenazi and Sephardic communities, so whether you're cooking for family or hosting guests with strict standards, you're covered. Every product is sealed at the source before it ships.
Where is your wagyu sourced from?
We source exclusively from Letovim Meats, our dedicated Wagyu partner. They run one of the only serious kosher Wagyu programs in the US, and we built our entire Wagyu lineup around them. The cattle are raised and processed under continuous kosher supervision and sealed at the source before anything ships. You're not getting repackaged commodity beef with a Wagyu label on it. This is the real thing.
Which wagyu beef cuts do you have available?
We carry the largest selection of Glatt Kosher Wagyu available online. Steaks include chuck eye, flat iron, Denver, and skirt. Roasts include brisket, chuck, and short ribs. On the rib side, we carry back ribs, flanken, and plate ribs. We also carry ground beef, burger patties, and sausages. Both F1 Crossbred (50% Wagyu, 50% Black Angus) and Fullblood (100% Wagyu genetics) are available across the lineup.

What are the health benefits of wagyu beef?
Wagyu gets most of its attention for flavor, but the fat profile is genuinely different from conventional beef. The marbling is predominantly monounsaturated fat, the same type found in olive oil. It's also high in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Studies specific to Wagyu show it can raise HDL while lowering LDL cholesterol. So yes, it's rich and indulgent. The fat is also actually doing something useful, and that's not marketing. It's how the genetics work. You can read more here.
How Much wagyu should I serve per person?
Less than you'd expect. The fat content makes Wagyu significantly more filling than conventional beef. For steaks, plan on 4 to 6 oz per person. For roasts or bone-in cuts, 6 to 8 oz works. If you normally serve 8 oz steaks, drop to 6. People consistently end up full. First-timers always underestimate how rich it is, and honestly, that's not a complaint.
Do you sell kosher a5 wagyu beef?
Kosher A5 Wagyu doesn't exist in any real commercial capacity right now. A5 is a Japanese grading standard, and virtually all of that beef is processed in Japan using slaughter methods that aren't compatible with kosher law. Legitimate kosher Wagyu is American-raised, full stop. That's where ours comes from. Our Fullblood Wagyu, 100% Wagyu genetics, is the closest experience to A5 you'll find in the kosher market. The marbling is real, the genetics are pure, and it's properly certified Glatt Kosher.
