Wagyu beef anyone tried it? very expensive.

Wagyu meat comes from a group of Japanese breeds revered for an incredibly high level of fat marbling. ... The point is that fat is where the flavour of meat resides, and this particular dissolving fat makes for the juiciest, richest steak in the world.

KOBE BEEF. Kobe beef is a special grade of beef from (Wagyu) cattle raised in Kobe, Japan. These cattle are massaged with sake and are fed a daily diet that includes large amounts of beer. This produces meat that is extraordinarily tender, finely marbled, and full-flavored.


Most Japanese Wagyu beef is in the A4-A5 range. Wagyu from Australia and the UK use a similar grading system, which is based on the Japanese system. There is no regulation with using the term Wagyu in the UK, which makes it hard to tell what quality you are buying or eating.

Unless it is from Japan and carries the Wagyu mark, it is probably not 100% Wagyy. British, US and Australian Wagyu are generally just 50% Wagyu crossed with other breeds. And most Wagyu burgers are made with a mix of wagyu trim and other meat.

yes its from Australia.
