What makes Wagyu so exp?
What makes Wagyu so exp?
From everything I've read. You cannot buy legit wagyu beef in the US due to export laws. It's been awhile since I read that; laws may have changed.
The wagyu I had in Korea you could melt the fat on a raw steak with the heat of your finger it was so marbled and delicate.
Get a regular USDA steak and drown it in melted lard, there you go.
However, not $100+ per lb amazing.
The cows are raised in stalls and not allowed out for the entirety of their lives. Also they are hand massaged by trained masseuse to help keep the meat tender. The raised I'm the stall part is supposed to increase the fat content, hence the extreme marbling of the meat.
This is for real, I'm not joking.
