Lots of “wagyu overrated, too fatty” posts and comments on here.
In Japan wagyu is frequently served thinly sliced over rice after being grilled.
It’s the same reason why Texas bbq places give you a crap ton of white bread to go with your fatty brisket. Fatty meat pairs well with a carb that absorbs the fat.
Stop eating whole ass wagyu steaks and eat it like the Japanese do before you keep slandering the product lmfao.

Most slander r just people that can’t afford it
Based AND true. Good post
better than all the people who are out there using wagyu ground beef or wagyu tallow
I mean, you’re not wrong. People definitely eat Wagyu in ways that don’t always show it at its best, and there are reasons for that.
That said, I’ve also had Wagyu prepared the traditional Japanese way, and I still prefer a classic NY strip or ribeye. At the end of the day, it comes down to preference. Wagyu doesn’t need to be put on a pedestal like it’s the Mount Everest of meat.
If I had an unlimited meat budget, I still wouldn’t choose Wagyu every time. It’s its own thing, meant to be enjoyed differently. More like a fork in the road than the ultimate destination.
Exactly, I consider it a tasting steak. It’s amazing, but I can’t do a whole steak myself. Sharing some slices with family and friends though is great.
wagyu has become a tool for ppl to post on social media to chase clout. majority of them would not even know the difference in a blind taste test
It’s not slander. It’s pretty overrated for the price. IMO
You don’t need much! waygu strips over some white rice with a touch of soy sauce and chili crisps after a night out. 🤤 w a NA beer to wash it down.
The common viewpoint of r/steak is that you can have only one favorite cut of steak, only served whole, seasoned with only salt and pepper and that’s their whole meal. Any Japanese grade Wagyu served this way will be overwhelming. Which is why it’s traditionally served as a tasting menu of multiple cuts, dips and sauces, and methods like shabu and yakiniku so you can enjoy the taste and texture of different cuts.
I agree with fatty food and carbs. Off topic but that’s why when im too lazy to cook i just make a simple ground beef and rice, so good with the fat mixing with the rice
It’s beef spam. Not being negative but it’s pretty accurate with the fat to meat ratio
I have no issues with the taste/texture of Wagyu. I just have a strong feelings about the inhumane treatment of the cattle since they don’t have any opportunity to act like real animals. I’m no expert, but to me it seems like they’re chronically overfed and suffering their entire lives
I made a comment about this yesterday! It’s amazing with savory sides
Wagyu is good. But in my humble opinion, almost never worth the price tag
I mean, technically this is Libel and not Slander lol. Both are forms of defamation but when it’s written it’s Libel and when it’s spoken, it’s Slander.
So talking shit on Reddit = Libel
One thing I remember from my business law class in college lol
I like to get the pre sliced Wagyu from 99 ranch. I make everyone hover around the cast iron with chopsticks and cook their own pieces and eat them korean bbq style. I’ll have rice and veggies on the island that are already cooked. So you can add your pieces to a bowl of that, or eat it immediately after cooked. That way if it’s too raw or over done, it’s their fault and not mine.
lol yeah. I’ve said the same multiple times. since its so rich, its eaten in smaller portions, 3 to 6 oz and more of an appetizer than main dish. But people are free to do whatever they wish.
There’s posters on here that claim they love eating 16 oz a5 wagyu rare or medium rare. More power to them if thats how they enjoy it. But I personally think thats disgusting. haha
So much effort goes into making all these accounts to slander wagyu in order to bring down prices only for people like you to mess it up
lol I just devoured left over NY Strip over a bed of jasmine rice. Seriously the best side for steak imo. (I’m Asian).
The first time I had A5 Kobe beef was at a Michelin Star restaurant as part of an Omakase, it was a very expensive upcharge for maybe two or three pieces but with how rich it is (like beef butter) that was more than enough and I would gladly do it again.
The people buying and eating entire NY strip or even ribeye of A5 Kobe are just wild to me.
Yeah I sense some jealousy from those who can’t afford it or can’t get it often.
The best steak(s) I’ve ever had was from a Michelin steak house in Kobe. The cuts were about 1/4lb (~130gr) and very filling.
IMHO – The folks here that buy these huge tomahawks from some farm that has barely any proper Tajima lineage and hyping WAGYU!!1! are probably not the sort I’d take seriously to begin with.
Every 20 seconds, flip the meat, and slander it with its own fat.
No!
Well, maybe. That doesn’t sound really good. But I also like whole ass Wagyu steaks.
It’s probably more of a – it’s overrated for the price,
Which is pretty understandable for someone not filthy rich. Would you rather have 10 prime ribeyes or 1 wagyu ribeye for the same price?
Not that it’s overrated because it’s no good, and if someone offered me my choice of steak for free or the same price they’d pass on wagyu
I’d like to think that most people who slander wagyu just can’t afford it or just really hate the price. There can’t be that many people with such horrible taste, right?
Anyway, if you’re eating a whole steak, don’t get Japanese A5, get American or Australian wagyu with a decent but not extravagantly high marbling score.
I’ve eaten wagyu many times several different ways or was amazing every time
