Costco selling Japanese A5 Waygu Steaks now!?!? Yooooo

10-4... Want to make sure I'm dranking a good quality gin... brah

Tangueray is good just like Bombay or Beefeater. After a certain point, it is just personal preference. Try gunpowder or Nikka coffee too. An Irish and a Japanese gin. You will be a man of culture. :lol:

We don't even produce shit with the marbling of the A5.

I have never had Wagyu but I would like tot ry it.

When I lived in Australia I ate their beef regularly, even the stuff in the packets at the supermarket were better quality than British or Irish. In Australia McDonalds use local beef in their patties the difference was night and day.
 
Had wagyu and didn’t like it. Way too much fat and had a funny taste. For those wondering it tastes nothing like a usda prime steak, or an aged one. It has a very gamey taste that some people like. I don’t

Obviously you didn’t have Japanese A5. There is absolutely nothing gamey or weird tasting about it. You had horse meat

I don’t know which one it was. At a very high end restaurant. I ordered it, thought it was going to be like a steak. It came back and was cut in very thin strips. It didn’t taste like any steak I’ve ever eaten.

They made it rare, which I’m not a fan of, but something was different. I can’t explain it, but it was so off, I couldn’t even finish it. I think the steak was over $200 too

You got scammed

Lol ok. Have you ever considered that maybe you did? They could have given you a prime steak. Would you know the difference. Look on YouTube, people that ate real wagging, they all say that it has a recognizable taste that is different. They also say you can’t eat a lot of it because it’s too rich.

I got scammed at a high end restaurant, but you didn’t at Costco. Lol
 
Of course, I got scammed. Listen to this food review, which says he doesn’t recommend A5 Wagyu. He says the “high levels of fat become off putting after a few bites.”

People in here got some Australian Wagyu or some other fufu shit.

You don't eat rare steak but you ordered wagyu? That is like putting seat covers on a Bentley :lol: If you know the name of the restaurant it will take all of 30 seconds to know if you got actual wagyu or something else. Most places that serve the real shit not only price it by the ounce but your waiter would have stopped you from ordering it any way but rare or medium rare. Nobu serves the shit for around $40 per ounce so you would definitely remember that steak...:lol:
 
Oh I see we got a bunch of fancy nigs in this thread.. here I’m thinking I’m fancy eating my turkey + turkey meatball stew the other day and these wagyu eating nigs pull up.. dont let papi68 see this thread he gonna out fancy all you nigs.. cows eating imported Mars grass or some shit while drinking water from melted ice from Pluto
My lemonade is only made by squeezing lemons still on the tree. Fresh squeezed fa sho.

Name of resteraunt and city please. Waygu is not gamey. The fact you said it was confirms you ain’t eating Waygu
 
People in here swear that I didn’t eat Wagyu, or that somehow I’m mistaken because it’s so obviously ‘delicious.’

I’m confident, by the place, that it was real Wagyu, and very high quality. It’s probably more real than anyone here ate. I’m also not saying it’s disgusting either.

My point is that it is very different from a traditional steak. If you are used to eating prime aged steaks, it’s something completely different.

Does it melt in your mouth. Yes. It’s sort of the consistency of a pork belly. But it has a very unique taste. If you like the taste, good for you. But neither I nor the food critic in the above video did (at least after a few bites).

My guess is 99% of Black people would prefer a $75 prime aged ribeye, than a Wagyu. I also suspect that many in here would have trouble eating it like I did.

It’s sort of like the difference between a well cooked Black Cod, and some designer sushi. The sushi may be more expensive, but for many who are not used to eating it - they might not like it. On the other hand a good black cod is the type of fish that just about anyone (American) could like.

Also real Wagyu is incredibly expensive, and very rare to find. I’m very confident that whatever they are selling in Costco ain’t it. There are plenty of ‘non-Japanese’ Wagyu farms that make steaks with hybrid Wagyu cows so that the meat is less fatty and more palatable to Americans. I suspect that’s what most people in this thread ate.

When I said gamey I was not talking about the consistency but the flavor.

Definition:
(of meat) having the strong flavor or smell of game, especially when it is slightly tainted.

:lol:

So what you are saying is that you are too deeply invested in this bullshit to admit that you just went to bennigan's and had them throw some soy sauce and wasabi on your shit. :smh::lol:

The shit is like 30-40 per ounce at a restaurant or around a $100 per pound if you buy it yourself. It is not some life changing cost especially since nobody is going to serve you a 16oz cut of wagyu like it is a ribeye or something:smh:...A5 is a grade just like "prime" is a grade. Just like all "Kobe" is wagyu but not all wagyu is "Kobe". The shit from Costco is no different different from the shit from Nobu. All of it is overnighted from Japan etc.

Brother, I mean this with no disrespect but you know not what you are talking about. Real Japanese Wagyu is like $100 an ounce at the restaurant and many hundreds of dollars a pound if you buy it.

American wagyu is $30 an ounce in a restaurant and $100 a pound.

There’s an entire article in the Robb report that explains how difficult it is to get Japanese Wagyu in the United States.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/robbre.../what-is-wagyu-beef-luxury-steak-2855767/amp/

Here is an excerpt where a Wagyu expert makes my exact point:

“American wagyu doesn’t have the sweet umami flavor that Japanese wagyu does, and it never quite reaches that same melt-in-your-mouth level of marbling. Though Heitzeberg is quick to stipulate that this doesn’t mean that American wagyu isn’t delicious.

“The American stuff is wonderful. You can eat more of it,” he says. “With the Japanese stuff, because it’s so fatty and rich, most people can’t eat more than a few bites of it before it’s so overwhelming. So if you’re in the mood for a steak dinner, and you want a giant steak, you can’t really do that with Japanese wagyu.”.

I’m done arguing in here. If you like what you eat, and you think it’s Wagyu, enjoy. I’m going to bed

Just admit you got caught up in a lie and unfortunately for you, there are actual people on here that can call you out on it. No fucking restaurant is charging $100 per ounce for "Kobe" let alone Wagyu.

Just a quick list from nyc

212 Kobe is around 30 per ounce: https://static1.squarespace.com/sta...1604511120926/212+Steakhouse+Dinner+Menu..pdf

Overpriced/overrated Nobu has their Wagyu at 30 per ounce: https://www.noburestaurants.com/fifty-seven/take-out/#dinner

Probably the most famous "Japanese" butcher sells their A5 at 130 per pound: https://japanpremiumbeef.com/items/wagyu/

Again, nobody doesn't "remember" the steak house they ate at or doesn't like "rare" meat and orders fucking wagyu. :smh: :lol:

Well I stand corrected on the prices, not on the taste. You still didn’t address what the Robb Report said about the taste, which was the issue. I wonder why???

I never said the restaurant, not because I forgot, but because I didn’t want to. If you must know, it was at the Core Club in NYC (a private club). The chef was bragging about some Wagyu that he had flown in and I ordered it.

Like I said above, if you like the taste, more power to you.
