Jae Kim, owner of the Michelin-recognized Korean barbecue restaurant HYUN, has opened THE HYUN Premium Butcher Shop in Gramercy. It is the first premium Japanese wagyu butcher shop in the U.S to import whole boneless cattle from Japan and butcher it in house. Kim and his team of skillful butchers are packaging the beef on-site, offering it for retail, wholesale, and e-commerce. Two marble cubes at the entrance resemble butcher blocks, with long, cleverly designed refrigerated glass cases showcasing over 50 premium A-5 Wagyu beef cuts.
Cuts include:
- Tenderloin: Known for its tenderness, featuring Filet Mignon and Chateaubriand.
- Chuck Roll: High in protein and rich in juiciness with a robust beefy aroma, includes Chuck Flap Tail and Chuck Eye Log cuts.
- Rump: Deep in color and flavorful in texture, featuring Culotte Head and Top Sirloin Butt cuts.
- Short Rib: Renowned for its juiciness, featuring Flap Meat and Outside Skirt cuts.
- Brisket: Known for its strong umami flavor from abundant marbling and a thick layer of fat.
- Shank: High in collagen and elastin content, includes Digital Muscle and Conical Meat.
- Offal: Rich in vitamins and protein, featuring Tongue and Mountain Chain Tripe.
All cuts are carefully labeled, beautifully packaged, and vacuumed sealed using THE HYUN’s exclusive vacuum seal for freshness. Each cut comes with a step-by-step cooking guide, a custom designed insulated bag, and linen covered ice packs.
Kim is collaborating closely with cattle farmers from various Japanese prefectures, starting with Hokkaido and followed by Kagoshima. Each month, a new region will be featured, with announcements made on THE HYUN’s website. This rotating partnership ensures the highest quality products at the most approachable price points.
The Hyun Premium Butcher Shop is located at 253 3rd Ave, New York, NY (646) 927-3295. For more information, visit thehyun.com
