Short Plate / Chuck Rib – Japanese Wagyu, Towada (5+)
Taken from the lower rib and shoulder end of the carcass, this short plate or chuck rib comes from Japanese Wagyu cattle raised in the Towada region of northern Japan. This is a working cut, valued for its structure and depth, made exceptional here by Wagyu’s distinctive intramuscular fat. Graded 5+, it reflects careful breeding and patient rearing, transforming a traditionally robust cut into something altogether more refined.
The generous marbling runs through the meat rather than sitting on the surface, giving it a supple texture and a deep, savoury character. Slow cooking allows the fat to render gradually, enriching the meat without overpowering it, while shorter, high-heat cooking rewards with richness and balance when handled with care. The result is layered flavour, gentle sweetness, and a finish that lingers with quiet assurance.
