I've noticed it has a fine buttery taste and is very tender, but I'm not sure which one is better.
So I asked the butcher and looked closely, the Wagyu there is some crossbreed, Red Wagyu ... I'll look up the exact breed later. So they weren't really marketing it as japanese wagyu.
They said they can order one like Japan bu tit's a whiter color due to fat and just for appetizers basically like it's cooked in Japan. I like the cross breed they are using because it has a finer softer flavor but it's still hearty enough I can eat a big steak of it. With that fatty $100/lb stuff I could probalby just eat 3 bites haha. One guy they said ordered a 'real' wagyu roast and said I just want good steaks but his friends couldn't eat much of it because it was so rich haha.
whatever it is, Lawd when they grind it it's heavenly, I actually like it more than steaks haha.

I've had the steaks a couple times. My husband loves it, but he is on a low fat, low cholesteral diet. We very seldom have any beef. Every 4-5 months he enjoys a nice steak. I can take it or leave it soI usually have fish and chips or fried calamari and then we're back to regular meals. Almost nothing fried in oil and no beef or pork. We eat a lot of fish and chicken. I'd be okay with fish everyday :-)

Really. I was thinking maybe it's less marbled or one of the less famous brands. I definitely notice a taste/texture difference. If I remember I'll ask them about it next time I go.
