British Olive-Fed Wagyu Zabuton (Chuck Flap) for Japanese BBQ by Fumiya Kase (a Michelin-Starred Chef-owner) 150-160g

Curated by Fumiya Kase, the acclaimed chef of Tokyo’s Michelin-starred restaurant L'orgueil, which has held one star for seven consecutive years, this exceptional premium zabuton cut is a standout choice for yakiniku enthusiasts. Zabuton, a rare and highly prized part of the chuck, is known for its exquisite marbling, rich umami, and buttery sweetness. Its fine texture and melt-in-the-mouth tenderness make every bite an indulgent experience that captures the essence of premium Japanese-style barbecue. This exceptional wagyu comes from Freedown Hills, a prestigious farm set in the lush countryside of Yorkshire, UK. Since 2019, they have been raising a unique crossbreed of Japanese and British cattle using their own feeding techniques and free-range grazing on vast pastures to nurture both health and flavour. What truly sets it apart is their olive-based feed, inspired by the traditional methods developed in Shodoshima, Japan. By incorporating olives into a specially blended feed, the beef develops a refined aroma, a clean, elegant fat, and a delicate sweetness that lingers gently on the palate. Grilled on a hot plate or over open flame, the zabuton turns crisp and aromatic on the outside while staying juicy and flavourful inside. Compared to the richness of traditional A5 Japanese wagyu, Freedown Hills wagyu stands out for its clean finish and depth of flavour, delivering an experience that is both satisfying and remarkably light. Recognised globally for its quality, this wagyu was awarded Gold at the World Steak Challenge 2024. Ideal for celebrating special occasions or as a thoughtful gift, it promises a truly unforgettable dining experience.
