That steak is so marbled the Greek could build with it.
Juddftw
I saw this on the menu at a pub today! (England) didn't want to order it because it was twice the price of everything else
UltimaN3rd
But is it as good as dog steak? Or long-pig steak?
PROBABLYRANDOM
the marbles
ButterfaceTaintClown
Personally, I prefer my steak a little less fatty. I understand why it's more expensive, and I enjoyed the novelty, but it's not for me.

I've been to the Mayura Wagyu feedlot! They feed the cattle chocolate candy!
studiograham
They sell Wagyu beef at McDonald’s. It’s really not that hard to come by. Just a cow from Japan. Not a specific cow or meat.
AxelYamanaka
Just wait for someone to compare it to a hoofless horse

Someone did that just an hour after you commented.

Had some raw wagyu at a fancy steakhouse last year. Was in starters section but cost as much as an entree. Was probably 2 bites. Was amazing
NatesSauceLab
I live in Japan. Recognized this immediately. Stuff literally melts in your mouth. Should be illegal.
studiograham
I live in Australia. Recognised it immediately. Wagyu beef is not only available in Japan.

Err... not a huge fan of all that fat in there. Yeah, that's probably going to be not popular.

I'm with you. Give me a tenderloin any day over this fatty stuff.
glassweaver
Right there with you. I can't stand marbled cuts like ribeyes. Probably also why I dislike bacon so much. :S
Razziz
I'll trade you my share of lean steaks for your share of marbled ones. :9

A5 Wagyu truly is incomparable to American beef. It's heavenly. Esp paired with wasabi and garlic chips. Don't knock it til youve tried it.
ciel712
Also for those that do want to try it, don't get Kobe beef. It's overpriced. Try a cut of Akita beef or another reputable breed instead.
ciel712
Had both Akita and Kobe A5 sirloin and the taste was almost indistinguishable. If anything, I thought Akita beef tasted better.

This will be unpopular, but it’s a bit too much fat for me. But I’m not a big steak lover so....
IronMarla
Most of that fat is going to more-or-less disappear during the cooking process; even when it's done medium-rare, the fat renders between all
IronMarla
those layers of muscle, which suffuses the whole thing with flavor as well as breaking down structurally to make -very- tender meat.

Perfection!

Mayura's wagyu cattle are fed Cadbury's chocolate, cookies, and candy, approximately two kilos a day. Costs about $300 a pound.
mynewestusername
I sure hope Cadbury's over there is better than here in the US. It's maybe a step above Hershey's.
pentagoninformation
Well Mayura's is Australian so I think its the same. But you realize the cows are eating it? It's not chocolate flavored or anything
mynewestusername
Yeah, but the company clearly thinks feeding them chocolate is beneficial, so why a premium priced shitty chocolate?
pentagoninformation
It has to do with calories, they experiment with different things like beer, limestone, and forced vitamin deficiencies to fatten them up
kittybuttwiggle
If I had to guess they probably get reject bins from the factory so not concerned with retail price.
mynewestusername
That would make a lot more sense than what I was thinking.
Steffn
Is the wagyu beef industry heavily marketing on imgur or what's up with all these meat posts on the FP recently?
mardukkur
If you had a wagyu filet you'd understand.
METAAAAAAAAAL
Wagyu is amazing.
UltimaN3rd
Some people feel insecure about their meat-eating because of vegans, so they make posts like these to get reassurance that it's okay.
Scamsquatch
Who the hell put that magic on a skewer?!
TheCarolingian

Felkster
Maybe they are putting the trimmings to good use...
Howiie
They grill it on Spears traditionally:)
Kurianichi
They are grilling it like that directly over charcoal I think. Just watched a video about it recently.

The same guy that washes it down with an 18 year old scotch and coke

Or like my mom, with orange juice.

Ugh... 18 year old coke must be terrible.

Okay. That made me chuckle. +1

I spent a 30k loan on college, should've bought a pound of this steak
studiograham
You would’ve still had $29,986 left for college.
CornHuskerTexan
A pound of that steak is more than $100 and requires travel to Japan lol
studiograham
It isn’t made of gold. It isn’t exclusive to Japan. Wagyu beef is available in the US, Canada, the UK and Australia.
CornHuskerTexan
It is not the same, may look the same, it's not taken care of or taste the same. Most the stuff called Wagyu in other countries isn't.
studiograham
Wagyu is a type of cow. So it is the same. Most wagyu beef that people consume from around the world comes from Australia.

Every time I see waygu it reminds me of that disturbing picture of the horse hoof with the outer part gone.

The horse is dead. Medical cadaver.

It died and then someone removed the hoof

Possibly laminitis but the foot doesnt look troubled enough. Maybe just a veterinary photo.

I had some once in Japan. Very hard to come by. Best damn thing I ever put in my mouth hole. Also one of the most expensive.

Husband is a butcher, love this but dry aged is the bomb and so much nicer flavour
dragonherder
I like to just do a good ribeye and salt it for 1 - 2 hours then clean it off and grill is fantastic and decently cheap.
GrizzlyWicks
I had some once and it made me violently I'll for 2 days
Vermifuge
Wagyu isn't that hard to come by in Japan. I had Akita, Yamagata & the famous Kobe beef. Many places offer it at at many price ranges.
shadowex3
tbh it looks like it's so fatty you' feel like you were just eating fat.
sumnsumn
The fat = cancer

the fat melts out and makes the rest so tender...*drools*

I’ve also had some. Absolutely amazing. But I’m partial to Hawaiian beef given it’s so much cheaper and so damn beefy
Pyreflie21
Ooo, I'll have to see If I can get it in California :D
shreddedking
different opinion here. i felt it was not that good to justify such higher price. I'd rather eat dry aged steak than wagyu beef

MomoLillia
Depending on whether you got high end wagyu or low end Kobe makes a difference. Some regular wagyu tastes better than Kobe.
MomoLillia
But I prefer fatter steaks so it might just be me
mardukkur
Too bad, you must have had a crappy cut. A Wagyu filet is ludicrously better than your average filet.
1cksBE
I ate Kobe beef in Kobe and it was sooooo good. I loved it, not so expensive in my memory (40€ for 240gr).
goofyfoot2010
240gr? I load that in my 300 win mag baby
AvatarTommyBee
Then it wasn't beef from Kobe. There is far more Kobe-beef sold, then beef produced in Kobe.
TheGuyWhoLetTheDogsOut
t varies depending on fat%A-B scale, 4-5 grading scale(overall quality) and BMS (Beef marble scale)6-12. Kobe pricerange $100-$4000/kg store
AvatarTommyBee
Though I get some downvotes here :) 3-4k animal qualify as Kobe-cattle, and just a small % gets exported. Now: it there seems licensed
AvatarTommyBee
Production outside JP. As such adjusted to economics and US taste. Whether that counts as Kobe or not, is an opinion matter.
1cksBE
It was. I had a plate with several very small different cuts from good to very good. They served (i can't afford it) cuts at ~400€/300gr.
AvatarTommyBee
Ah .. that's a number I have heard. .. Sadly Kobe-beef is not trademarked.
TheGuyWhoLetTheDogsOut
Trademarked since 1983
