🧬 What Makes Oishi F1 Wagyu Exceptional?
The “F1” classification means this beef comes from cattle that are 50% Japanese Black Wagyu genetics and 50% premium Angus. This creates the perfect harmony between:
🥩 Wagyu marbling & richness
🐂 Angus beefy flavour & structure
The result? A steak that is incredibly tender, flavourful, and beautifully marbled — but not overwhelmingly fatty. This balance is exactly why F1 Wagyu is a favourite among chefs and home cooks alike.
Oishi Wagyu cattle are raised with world-class care, clean feed, and plenty of space to thrive, ensuring consistent marbling and a flavour profile that stands out from standard beef.
💎 MB3+ Marbling Score — The Sweet Spot
With a Marbling Score of 3+, this cut sits in the premium tier of Wagyu without entering ultra-rich territory. MB3+ is often described as the “everyday luxury” level — offering:
✨ Visible but elegant marbling
🔥 Superior juiciness and flavour
🍽️ Versatility for both high-heat grilling and gentle roasting
If you're looking for Wagyu that is impressive yet balanced, MB3+ is your perfect match.
🔥 Why Porterhouse / Striploin Is One of the Best Steak Cuts
The Porterhouse / Striploin (also known as New York Strip) is one of the most iconic steaks in the world because of its combination of:
-
🍖 Firm, satisfying texture

This cut sears beautifully, slices cleanly, and makes a stunning centrepiece whether cooked in a pan, oven, or on the grill.
🥘 Ideal Cooking Methods
The Oishi F1 Wagyu Porterhouse / Striploin MB3+ performs beautifully across several cooking techniques. Here’s how to make it shine:
🔥 Pan-Searing
Pan-searing gives you a perfect crust. Simply season with salt, pepper, and a touch of oil — the natural fats will do the rest.
Steps:
-
Bring steak to room temperature
-
Preheat pan until smoking hot
-
Sear each side 2–3 minutes
-
Finish in the oven if needed
-
Rest 5–10 minutes
Result: Golden crust, pink centre, rich flavour.
🧂 Reverse Sear

🥩 BBQ/Grill
The marbling melts gently, basting the steak from within. Great for smoky, charred flavours.

Cook whole → slice thinly across the grain. Excellent for sharing platters.

🥩 Full Beefy Depth: Angus heritage provides robust steakhouse flavour
