Made an American wagyu today! First time cooking it and I was excited! It was super tender and juicy! But I’m so use to the normal steak taste the taste threw me off a bit. It wasn’t bad, not at all. But I need to try the Japanese wagyu next!

I tried it all, japanese A5 and so on, seriously i don’t like the taste, it tastes just like what it is, pure fat. I can barely eat to much salmon cause it’s to fat. I want to puke after it, the only Japanese wagyu cut I enjoyed was the sirloin, thanks to not being to greasy with fat. But still have that amazing pink meat. I ironically prefer the Australian wagyu/Texas beef.

It kinda comes down to culture because in Japan you eat rice with small portions of side dishes. The meat is a side dish, however in the US steak is the main course and will take up that role so you don’t get sick after eating a whole lot of it

[@bluetoothjjt23]

My theory on the crust difference- the maillard reaction occurs with proteins, not fat. American wagyu had more meat/protein, so more maillard reaction and thus caramelization is occuring, giving the crust a deeper color. Wagyu is composed of more fat, so less maillard reaction is occuring during the sear, so the crust is lighter in color.

@Dahlia Diez Chan yes true

[@zecki8403]

Thank you for this amazing and interesting video! 👏

[@crowwrestler]

For me and my experience the biggest difference is the consistency of the fat. With Japanese wagyu I believe the fat is unsaturated which creates that melt in your mouth feeling due to its melting temperature being much lower than saturated fat. I believe crossing a black angus with Japanese wagyu results in the fat being saturated which has much more of a bite. I don’t know why more people don’t talk about this. It’s like the biggest difference

A huge misconception with wagyu is that it’s not really meant to be eaten as a steak for 1 person. That’s a pretty western notion, and a western portion size as well. In Japan it’s typical to get small slices of Wagyu and then a large bowl of rice to fill you up.

@@Belllean no that's just common sense, u build up a tolerance from touching hot things. there is no normal chef out there sticking there finger in boiling oil. If you are such a good chef u will realise that the consistent heat against ur skin forms callouses, the callouses can dampen heat, most chefs can completely ignore oil splatter from the pan or flipping meats with there hands, but that doesn't mean that u can just stick your hands in boiling liquids, there's a difference between a quick sting and scorching. So don't try condescend me like ur some sort of cooking master if u dont understand common sense, i've spent plenty of time around welding and furnaces to know that a bit molten spatter isn't much but i'm not gonna just put the welding tool against my hands, there's people out there that are so used it they don't bother putting on welding helmets but yet again they aren't nearly stupid enough to touch it.

​@@BOOG-2 She clearly doesn't know what shes talking about, i bet she's just a normal home cook who can deal with a bit of pan sputter. don't get why she has to be so rude just because someone said she was over exaggerating. if she said she was cooking with freshed batter food i might believe she can put her fingers in the boiling liquid for maybe a second, but no apparently she washes garlic of her fingers with boiling liquids. A little hint for Annie Lynn the reason heat won't instantly burn someone's hand when using batter is due to the fact there hands are wet which causes a small steam barrier to form between his hands and the oil, but this will only work for a few seconds, just like when that guy touched molten lead with his bare hands.
