First Class Imports A5 Wagyu

First Class Imports A5 Wagyu is the wholesale division of a Texas-based importer focused on providing access to the highly sought-after Japanese A5 Wagyu and to providing exceptional quality, service and information.

With a network spanning prefectures from Hokkaido to Kushu, First Class Imports is able to directly connect their customers to, and share the stories of, the individual farms and farmers in Japan. They believe that Wagyu embodies more than just meat; it captures the essence of Japanese farms and the experiences of those who savor the end product.

Their affiliation with JETRO (Japan Exchange Trade Organization) provides them access to unique cuts of Wagyu, and for specific groups to privately label and brand individual Wagyu farms in Japan.
