I few weeks ago I splurged and spent around $50 at Don Q for a little over half a pound of Kagoshima Black Cattle Wagyu (黒牛 和牛). I justified the purchase by telling myself that going out to a high-end restaurant (which we never do) woulda cost way more. No?
Landon simply fried the beef and we dipped it in a tiny bit of fleur de sel salt before eating. It was soooo good.
It's hard to describe the texture of wagyu . . . it's an almost melt-in-da-mouth experience. I hope you get to try some for yourself if you haven't yet.
Thanks for the heads-up, Kevin!

Was, Les!
Mmmm...Looks so good! I always wondered how those expensive kine taste. - L
J: WOW it looks fab and even better from Japan. Hoo broke da mouth good, so glad you shared with us. -N
I think it is all the marbled fat that keeps the meat so tender:)
Wow looks really yummy.
You were justified spending on the wagyu. If you went to a hi-end restaurant; you would spend on gas to get there, validation costs money, ala carte items usally add up, in addition to beverage and dessert. Plus, you ate it in the comfort of your home. I've had Kobe beef, SO good.
That was about $3.00 per bite. Glad it was good!
So I had to look up the history of Wagyu. You all will enjoy this! In Japanese with English subtitles from one awesome old bugga that knows all about Wagyu!
