WHY WAGYU?
Wagyu beef originates from Japan and is considered by many the best beef on the planet. With the name meaning “Japanese Cow” (wa = Japanese, gyu = cow), it can be found in four different types of Japanese cattle. Though it is known to be expensive and difficult to attain, the preparation and great care for a prominent Wagyu cut can be a delicious and worthwhile endeavor to embark on.
Wagyu is different from other types of beef. After all, it is the most desired and highly regarded meat across the world. Wagyu beef is distinctive because it is highly marbled. Marbling refers to the visible layers of intramuscular fat which appears as striking white/cream flecks within the red muscle. Due to the unique genetics of the cows and the Wagyu cultivation process, the meat contains a higher percentage of fatty acids than ordinary beef, giving it a higher marbling score. Extensive marbling gives Wagyu beef a spectacular tenderness, juiciness, and flavor.
Some say, there is too much fat and not enough beef. But the naysayers are underestimating the fat/marbling in Wagyu and, in our educated opinion, dismissing one of the “superhero” attributes of Wagyu beef. The fat/marbling in Wagyu is what translates into the amazing, next-level flavor and melt-in-your-mouth quality Wagyu consumers boast about.
In addition, the fat in Wagyu is unique. It’s a soft fat with a low melting point, which is partly due to its high proportion of monounsaturated fats. The low melting point allows the fat to break down at a lower temperature than other beef. This means that the Wagyu beef at the end of your fork is extremely tender, juicy, and pleasing to the most discerning palate.
