Even with the discount it would be cheaper to fly to Japan, get a small home in the countryside, apprentice under a rancher, learn the butchery trade, and slaughter the cow yourself than to buy those steaks.

Actually if you do the math it would probably cost more than $399.99 + $50 membership fee to do all that.

It's not that cheap in Japan, costs about the same as a high quality US domestic steak depending on where you live.

pic related is koroge wagyu that was about $23 for 13oz in osaka

if you want to eat it as a whole steak, I honestly prefer american beef or american wagyu that isn't as marbled as the japanese meat. for slicing thin for yakiniku I like the fattier beef better.

That's a rip-off.
I can get dry-aged imported Japanese wagyu for $116/lbs

That's because it's fake Chinese wagyu, not the real deal.

Please explain to me why I, as a consumer who wants to consume some exceedingly marbled cuts of beef, should give a shit about your pretentious autistic nitpicking? Am i going to die within the next year if i eat this chinese beef? Am i going to be raided by the japanese PDO if i purchase this semantically incorrect cut of beef? Can you show me scientific research which demonstrates that this chinese imitation wagyu is just miles below the real deal wagyu in quality, and that I shouldnt even bother buying it? No? Then shut the fuck up.

The Chinese stuff doesn't have as much umami and we all know that umami is the only reason to get wagyu.

>>9234458
I would pay $23 for a steak marbled like that even
if it was grown in north korea

>>9234221
how can you tell? I just went to a market and bought the best beef I could find. The cheaper steakhouses in kobe sell kobe beef dinners for like $100-200 for about 150-200g. seems about right factoring in restaurant mark up and the "kobe is best" meme tax that american tourists fall for all the time.

Chinese wagyu is only 10% umami, similar to a typical American filet. Japanese wagyu is at least 40% umami.
