Most people will never taste BMS 12 — the top of Japan's marbling scale — because it usually shows up with a three-figure price tag. This is the exception. The Sirloin Filet (the "baseball cut," a thick, round steak from the short loin) delivers maximum-score Kobe Wine Beef marbling at $79.99: the most affordable way into true prefecture-certified A5 we carry. It isn't the tenderloin and it isn't a strip — it sits between them, with a tighter grain than a ribeye, more beefy depth than a filet, and enough structure that it's genuinely hard to overcook.
