Is wagyu beef overrated?

Pic related is A5 grade fat and the top grade is A12, literally 100% fat.

What’s the appeal?

[Anonymous No.12405808]

I had pic related btw

>the top grade is A12
shut up retard.

In japan there are 3 yield grades, A, B, and C.

And 5 quality grades, 1 though 5.

A5 being the highest quality and yield.

don't really care for it, or for super expensive 'high quality' meat in general, it's just meat at the end of the day, no way it's worth $50 per pound or whatever
I stick to the cheap shit (usually pork), tenderized, marinaded, good enough for me
also, try compressing your images before you post them, as it takes a long time to load on four channel

I’m phonephosting sorry.

It was 50€ per 100 grams, with the 20% discount during the week 40€.

One day I’ll try it but surely enough I can’t eat one piece of that meat and call it a meal.

What is that in yen

[Anonymous No.12405891]

>>12405868
Obviously not if you think A12 wagyu exists.

[Anonymous No.12405896]

>>12405882
That's about 4850 jpy per 100 grams (0.22lbs)

or about $45 per quarter lbs.

Would you rather have this abomination?
This is honestly what you get where I'm from when you ask for a "steak" at the butcher. And in supermarkets as well.
The only way to make it edible is to add copious amounts sauce, which is either high in fat or carbs. Probably both.
I never could understand why people loved steak so much. I always hated steak. until I tried an actual steak that was a more fatty cut. No wonder people go vegan, I'd also prefer broccoli over this.

God I hate to low fat craze. Literally everything is low fat but high in sugar or high in rapeseed or sunflower oil. Both are a thousand times worse for heart disease than animal fats. But yeah the global industrial farming complex gets higher profits using these crops rather than using animal products.

But yeah you're probably paying a lot for brand too. Japs are absolute jews when it comes to food, "Here is your ¥12k honeydew melon sir", ect...

You can thank low fat studies conducted in the 90s by researchers funded by grain companies for the low fat trend that extends into today.

Yes apparently I’m retarded and I confused the BMS with the quality grade.

Yes it was seared only, then sliced and was up to us to finish the cooking according to our taste. We had pic related on our table.

This is the highest quality Japanese steak it’s 91% fat it’s very tender and juicy

[Anonymous No.12406216]

I've had American wagyu which are the cows that came from Japan many years ago bred with American cows since Japan decided against exporting them here. It's good but I don't believe they are grass fed in Japan not sure what the feed is though.

It depends.

Kobe beef for example can be either grass or grain fed, but the grass and grains MUST be obtained within the Hyōgo Prefecture.

all that fat melts and the meat become very tender and juicy

[Anonymous No.12406305]

It's probably overrated for what you're paying for. Not including price it's pretty damn good. But really you can get a close replication with a steak with better marbling and fat.

How could the cow even be alive with this muscular structure.

[Anonymous No.12406844]

Do you eat that meat in a normal way or should I make some autistic Japanese ritualistic shit before?

No, just this small place allow people to cook their meat on their own after the owner/cook sears the steak on the grill, so you can choose your grade of doneness.

I always eat medium cooked steak but this time I tried eating a pair of medium/rare slices and they were good.

>>12405868
Waygu just means steak you fucking moron. Any Steak can be 'waygu' technically, you probably and by the looks of it got an import from Austraila.

You're order basically has no visible signs of marbling or excess fat like it should. Also Kobe is less authentic than hida beef
