What did you cook or eat today (September 2025)?

I'm both excited and sceptical to try this. It was $10 for a pound. Isn't wagyu and kobe two of the "best quality" meats on the planet? Why so cheap?

Real authentic Wagyu is raised to strict standards in Japan from specific breeds in very low number herds by dedicated farmers who massage them, sing to them, feed them sake and ridiculously expensive and nutritious feeds and other things that cause them to be those very expensive beef product at the end.

US (and Australian) Wagyu are from the same breeds (having been exported live or via sperm samples or whatnot) and then bred outside Japan. They are not raised in the same way.

I’ve tried Aussie Wagyu and it’s Ok - a well-marbled steak for sure, but I haven’t yet seen one raised to the quality of an A5 Miyazaki or Kobe originating from outside of Japan.

Yours says ‘processed in USA’ - I’d be interested to know where the actual cow was raised. Does it say behind?

It says it was raised in the basement of a new jersey prostitute. Is that bad?

Probably because strictly speaking its not authentic wagyu. See here:

Debunking The Myths Behind Halal Wagyu

I note it is halal which personally I don't like due to slaughter methods. Having said that I don't know if halal includes stunning in the USA. According to Islamic law, animals should not be stunned.

It doesn't mean it won't taste good though.
