    Wagyu is a breed and no one can say for certain from this photo which breed this is from.

    Japanese Kobe A5 Wagyu is the most expensive steak in the world but plenty of supermarket chains sell their own cheaper variation of just normal wagyu beef which I suspect this may be.

    Don’t worry about it. Cook it and enjoy dude.

    Worked at a butcher shop a couple years. That’s very far from Wagyu. But looks ready to sous vide, so cook it up!

    Wagyu (Japanese: 和牛, Hepburn: wagyū, lit. ’Japanese cattle’) is the collective name for the four principal Japanese breeds of beef cattle. So it’s not a particular breed, but a group of breeds. Like all animal products, it’s all about the treatment of the creature you’re eating. How and what was it fed? How was it raised? How was it slaughtered, etc.. The piece of meat you have there looks mediocre. Wagyu’s fame was built on the pampered, super-fatty version, which this clearly is NOT. That having been said, it could still be a dandy steak.

    Almost always a cross breed with US domestic Angus cow. How much US Angus verse Japanese Black is totally unknown. It’s not strictly supposed to be called Wagyu but American Wagyu (or Wangus, which is hilarious), but no one really listens and it’s a gimmick.

    It is nothing like the Kobe A5 or Matsusaka beef that you see people rave about in the realm of real Wagyu. It’s mostly going to be a marginally better marbled cut that will cost more than a prime cut from an Angus, which would probably be better.
