TLDR: Arita Wagyu is an award-winning Japanese Black wagyu from Miyazaki that Toh Thye San Farm has officially launched in Singapore through its online store, Mr Farmer. Known for its balance of lean meat and marbling, it shone brightest in the Braised Arita Chuck Ribs and Arita A5 Steak Tartare we tried at Scotts Grill. A5 cuts on Mr Farmer range from $29.90 to $48.
Most premium wagyu is sold on the strength of its A5 grade. Arita Farm in Miyazaki takes a different approach: it puts healthy cattle and balanced, everyday-friendly beef ahead of chasing the top grade.
Its beef is now officially available to home cooks here exclusively through Mr Farmer, the online store of Toh Thye San Farm.
We had the opportunity to sample Arita Wagyu at Scotts Grill, the modern European grill concept by Les Mis Group, featuring all the cuts.
What Is Arita Wagyu?
Arita Wagyu is a Japanese Black Wagyu raised by Arita Farm in Saito City, Miyazaki, and imported exclusively into Singapore by Toh Thye San Farm.
The farm aims for a balance of lean meat and marbling, giving beef with natural sweetness and tenderness that isn’t overly fatty.
Established in 1976, Arita Farm is one of Japan’s largest wagyu producers, raising around 8,000 head of cattle. It runs its own breeding, processing and export.
Its cattle are raised without hormones or antibiotics and fed a pesticide-free blend of 10 grains and four grasses, with groundwater drawn from 100 metres underground near Mt Osuzu.
Arita Wagyu is certified authentic Japanese Wagyu by the Japan Livestock Industry Association.
It won the Gold Medal in the Wagyu Category at the World Steak Challenge 2025, where Arita Farm also took the Large Producer Award.

What We Ate
We tried Arita Wagyu across four dishes at Scotts Grill, each using a different cut and cooking method.
Arita A5 Steak Tartare
A gentle start. The A5 tenderloin was lightly seasoned with shoyu vinaigrette, chives and horseradish, then served on house-made pain au lait toast with Kaviari caviar.
The beef was tender and pleasant with no gamey taste, and the buttery toast and caviar rounded it out nicely.
Arita Beef Tallow Cauliflower Velouté
Another standout! Scotts Grill swapped the butter in its classic soup for 100% Arita beef tallow.
This gave the rich, creamy velouté a subtle fragrance and a fuller flavour. The croutons added just enough crunch to keep it from feeling too heavy.
Braised Arita Chuck Ribs
This was the star of the show!
Inspired by both French beef bourguignon and a Japanese beef stew, the ribs are slow-braised and served with roasted root vegetables. The meat was incredibly tender, and the fat tasted unlike any beef fat we’ve had.
The roasted potato was a pleasant surprise too, with a perfect crisp crust on the outside.
Chuck is a secondary cut, which made this even more impressive.
If you try one cut, we recommend this one!
Charcoal Grilled Arita Miyazaki A4 Striploin
The A4 striploin was served with beef jus, wasabi and yuzu kosho, alongside a rice pilaf cooked in Arita beef tallow instead of chicken fat.
The beef was rich and tender, and the lighter pilaf balanced its fattiness well, though a little salty.
Is Arita Wagyu Worth Trying?
Yes, especially if you want A5 wagyu at home without paying for the most expensive cuts. Across all four dishes, the beef tasted cleaner than most wagyu we’ve had and never once turned gamey.
The braised chuck ribs and the tallow velouté were the clear highlights. They show the beef works well beyond a classic steak. The striploin was the most indulgent, so it suits those who like their wagyu on the fattier side.
At $48 for a 200g A5 striploin on Mr Farmer, it felt just as good as the pricier wagyu we’ve tried. It’s well worth a weekend steak night at home or a hotpot gathering with friends.
