I just had my Wagyu steak from Nikuya when they are still having the 20% off sale. It tastes so good! I went back to stock up other meats but yeah, very pricey.

I just joined a rancher in Texas who has the best agyu in the US. He just gave me the OK to sell Kobe burger for $5.00 a lb. I am a meat eater and I will tell you this is the best steakburger I have ever had. If interested please call me 561-313-0794 Matt. I would love to share this with everyone.

The number one reason you wont find stuff that good in the states is, the uber-high grade cattle are not allowed to move around they are kept on really small plots that would not be acceptable (possibly criminal) on American farms. Less movement= more tender and more fat. think veal calves but are kept in tiny conditions not for 6 months but between 18-36 months.

Jonnek, we haven’t bought Wagyu from Nikuya yet. We’ve been to the store and have seen some really primo Japanese A5-grade stuff there, so I don’t think there’s any question about the quality of their meats! We’re trying to convince ourselves to pick up a steak or two for Christmas…

Hey Ben, it was ~$50 USD. We really enjoyed the Wagyu and I’m sure you would as well. I’ve never tried the “Kobe beef” at the LV buffets, but I will go out on a limb and say the real deal is several orders of magnitude better.

I’m just wondering if you have tried the Wagyu beef from Nikuya. If you have, how was it? Thanks..

So ET … how much did you have to pat for that slab of meat? I have never tried real Kobe beef except for the so-called “Kobe Beef” in Las Vegas buffet tables. My life will never be complete without having tried the real one!
