It’s easy to say, “too much fat”, “where’s the meat” on steaks like these, but if you’ve never eaten Japanese Wagyu…I can tell you there’s more flavor than any Prime steak you’ve ever had. The flavor, the buttery mouthfeel, the way it sears perfectly every time, it almost doesn’t feel real. As someone that has had the opportunity to buy and eat their grand champion Kobe and BMS 12 Wagyu ribeyes, it’s truly an experience you will never forget. It’s on the pricey side for steaks, I’m aware, but in terms of the quality of the meat, the skill of the butchers at Alpine Butcher, and their top notch customer service, you’re paying for exactly what you get and that’s passion for the craft and a phenomenal cut of meat. And for the record, this is coming from someone who regularly grills up and enjoys grocery store Prime steaks

I’d take a really nice dry aged steak over a5 any day of the week. A5 is fantastic don’t get me wrong, but it’s just too rich to eat a whole steak. I’d rather use a5 for nigiri or yakitori than eat it as a steak, but that’s just my preference. EDIT: Saying this as someone who frequently buys Kobe for nigiri. It is truly unique, but I couldn’t eat it more than once a week.

@@jamess.2491 Oh I absolutely agree with you on portions haha. I split one 12 oz Wagyu between 3 people and served it over rice and it was so incredibly rich that we were tapping out after 4 ounces a piece. It’s definitely something to savor in smaller portions and/or share with friends and family. I usually go local for my dry aged steaks, but one of these days I’ll have to snag one of Alpine Butcher’s experimental dry ages (I’m lookin at you Brandy and peppercorn)
