Will you hear the most beautiful music...

"Honestly, that looks disgusting and I wouldn't pay a nickel for it. It's nearly all fat!"

roxy54-  Just like a speaker/amp setup, not for everyone. But you must experience Wagyu if you ever have the opportunity. It's all about the marbling. A5(the highest) prepared at this level is the magnum opus of steak preparation/presentation. Once something like that hits your taste senses, you understand. 

"I've had A5 Wagyu (though not as obsessively prepared) and it is something else."

Larryi-lucky you. I thought my experience with A3 was a knockout. A 30-45 day, dry aged rib eye ain't a bad substitute!

"Perfect marbling." rocray- That particular piece was indeed "perfect"

Perhaps  the secret handshake "reserve A5" regular A5 for the peasants.

Oh dear … 

Perfect marbling. 

Filet. (sp)

I've had A5 Wagyu (though not as obsessively prepared) and it is something else.  It does not seen overly fatty at all.  The only other kind of beef that I like nearly as much is a well-aged ribeye cap.  

No taste , the fillet either.

Honestly, that looks disgusting and I wouldn't pay a nickel for it. It's nearly all fat!

I'd prefer a good 8 ounce filet.

That cow lead one pampered life.

If I was on death row,that would be my choice for last meal.

Miner Dunn burgers forever.

jond, 

I treat myself once a year or so to great slab of meat. Just watching the video may be my 2022 indulgence! I could practically taste that piece in the chopsticks.

I couldn't resist NOT posting this. That slice of heaven hypnotized me. 

Ebm this was for the audiofoodies in the house. 

But @ebm the meat is gone and eaten.

Wow that was mesmerizing thanks tablejockey. I pan seared a NY strip last night and now I'm craving steak again!

Ita AUDIOGON not meatgon.
