What is Wagyu steak?

Wagyu steak originates from Japan, where “Wagyu” translates to “Japanese (Wa) cow (gyu).” This breed is renowned worldwide for its unparalleled marbling, tenderness, and rich flavor. Authentic Japanese Wagyu, such as Kagoshima, Miyazaki, and Kobe beef, is considered the pinnacle of premium beef. These cattle are raised with utmost care, fed on specialized diets, and nurtured in stress-free environments to create an exceptional product.

At OS Meatshop, we offer not only authentic Japanese Wagyu but also premium selections from Australia, including Jack’s Creek MBS9 Fullblood Wagyu, and our exclusive SUMMO Wagyu, sourced from the pristine Hida region in Japan.

Why is Wagyu so expensive?

The exclusivity of Wagyu beef comes down to its rarity, strict breeding practices, and labor-intensive care. Authentic Japanese Wagyu, like our Kagoshima and Miyazaki cuts, is sourced from purebred cattle raised on nutrient-rich diets for over 30 months. Japan’s limited production capacity and meticulous farming methods result in Wagyu’s premium pricing.

Our SUMMO Wagyu, exclusive to OS Meatshop, epitomizes this luxury. Raised in the Hida region with pristine air, water, and pastures, it undergoes rigorous selection and care to ensure unmatched quality and marbling.

What makes Wagyu steak special?

The standout feature of Wagyu beef is its intense marbling, which enhances both flavor and texture. This intramuscular fat melts at a low temperature, giving Wagyu a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth quality. SUMMO Wagyu boasts an exceptional marbling score, coupled with a rich flavor profile that rivals even the famed Kobe beef.

The cattle from Hida, where SUMMO Wagyu is sourced, benefit from ideal living conditions, including a stress-free environment and premium diets of rice straw, barley, and grains, ensuring an extraordinary dining experience.

How to cook Wagyu steak?

Cooking Wagyu steak requires attention to detail to preserve its delicate texture and flavor. Avoid cooking over open flames due to its high fat content. Opt for a pan-sear method at medium heat, allowing the marbling to render perfectly. While the preparation is straightforward, follow the specific cooking instructions for each cut—whether it’s a ribeye, striploin, or tenderloin.

For example, an Australian Jack’s Creek MBS9 Wagyu picanha demands slightly different preparation compared to a SUMMO Wagyu entrecôte, given their unique fat distribution and texture.

How much Wagyu steak do you need?

Wagyu steak is rich and flavorful, making it ideal for sharing. For a tasting experience, plan for 30–40 grams per person as an appetizer or amuse-bouche. For main courses, a full steak of SUMMO Wagyu or Jack’s Creek MBS9 Fullblood Australian Wagyu can create a memorable meal for connoisseurs.
