Had a chuckle when I saw this ... 4-pack of Wagyu for $1000 at Costco ...

It came with a discount.You better hurry since it plainly says "while supplies last". I won't be taking yours away from you.  I promise.

That is actually a really good deal on A-5. It typically goes for well over $200/lb.

johnkitchens

It is out of my price range either way!

Doesnt the rating go up to A-12?

fishlessman

wonder if they have any leaner pieces

Let me think..... four really fantastic steaks for maybe up to 8 meals if SWMBO and I split one (24 ounce is big enough to share) or maybe buy a mini BGE that will last a lifetime and have enough money left over to cook USDA Prime steaks on it for the next year or so.... just a matter of priorities. 

Actually, when the company paid the bills, Kobe and Wagyu was often on the menu. Much like a $100 bottle of wine, it was often wasted on me, I just don't have the palette to appreciate such things.

not sure I could ever pull the trigger on something like that when regular steaks are so damn yummy.

That marbling though!!    =P~

No. A-5 is the highest grade. Marbling is 8-12 within the grade. I suppose it's similar to Choice, choice +, and choice - in the US. This is done from select up, I believe.

That's Canadian beef. The US stuff is imported Japanese beef.

I wouldn't. I'd just eat it raw or lightly seared.

I'll fly roundtrip to Japan and eat a choice steak for that price!

I bought these last month. When I got home I was out of lump, so I just microwaved them. Not bad, but not really worth the price.

WoW, look at the marbling! Nice. Pretty. Well done and probably makes for a pretty good stake, especially if you do it caveman. But hey, really, can't I get pretty close to this in my cheap little mind with a well made perfectly cooked burger and spend the rest on something else.

I'd be too scared to cook them. If I screwed it up I'd never hear the end of it...

Tell me about it. That would be the ones I overcooked.

How much for the whole cow? $-)

I'm pretty sure I'm A-5. I use to have way less marbling, but now, I'm totally A-5. Probably won't live past 58 but at least I know my my family will be taken care of when they sell me off @$200/#
