Scorecard — Bench 1.0
5.8 [AGENT] agent-researched; turns green with user + third-party verification (rules)
| TASTE | 9.7 | Japanese A4/A5 incl. Kobe/Omi/Hokkaido Snow/Olive lines, Australian BMS 8-9/9+, 35-day dry-aged options, fresh airfreight never frozen — about the strongest flavor evidence in D2C beef. | |
| HEALTHY | 3.5 | No RWA/organic/welfare certs; antibiotic and hormone status undisclosed catalog-wide (one Ozaki SKU claims antibiotic-free feed). Named-farm sourcing and fresh-never-frozen transparency partially offset the missing husbandry disclosure. | |
| COST | 2.0 | Cheapest ribeye $71.43/lb (American Wagyu 2x14oz $125); Japanese A3/A4 primal $89/lb, A5 steaks ~$130/lb. Far above the $25-45/lb D2C band; fair only within the fresh-A5 import niche. | |
| HAPPY | 4.5 | No third-party welfare certification. Named family farms (Sher, Chateau Uenae, Ozaki) and Australian line pastured 18 mo before 400-day barley finish are positive but self-claimed; Japanese small-farm husbandry implied, unverified. | |
| TEXTURE | 9.5 | A5 and BMS 9+ marbling plus 35-day dry-age options; ships fresh (never frozen), avoiding freeze-thaw moisture loss — top-tier tenderness evidence. |
