Now that that is over let me tell you: That you, like many others, don't know shit about Wagyu Beef.

Alexander’s in Cupertino is one that does and I ate there recently. They have like 8 of the breeds available including one that is raised in the mountains at high altitude and has never been above 32 degrees it’s entire life. This is total bullshit. They do have a private rancher who's property is always cold. but it's the same ****ing cow just raised in the cold. Our American Wagyu ranchers have the same branding and quality systems. You just don't know about them. They do it the same way by grouping ranchers together just as in Japan. The difference is that there is no labeling system within the USDA that differentiates between the classifications F1, F2, F3, Purebred, and 100% Fullblood when dealing with Wagyu beef in the USA. In the US if it has Wagyu blood it's Wagyu.

Ranchers and cattlemens associations are setting their own standards and marketing those standards. So it's the same but different in US vs. Japan. If you want to be called Miyazaki Beef it must be 100% purebred Japanese Wagyu from the Miyachiku co-op or cattlemans assn. Miyazakigyu (a brand name) or Miyazaki Beef must be the top grade (A4 & A5) to be labeled and sold at registered outlets.

It will cost you though as they typically cost $135 per 3oz. And $185 per 3oz for the below 32 degree version. I posted the prices

I was trying to post link to menu and photos of meat case showing the versions but since I don’t usually post here it nt let new members post links

Alexanders is a fine dining restaurant where their customers do not give **** what something costs. They tell people like you a bunch of bullshit and jack the prices.. That said, you actually paid $50 an ounce for a piece of beef?

Sorry but Japanese Wagyu and 100% pure Wagyu stock in the US are the same cows except ours have various diets as do the JPN varities and cost a hell of a lot less. Alexander's F1 steaks are $14 an ounce, the same grade of beef ( F1) at the best steak house in KC sells for $3.55 an ounce.

Once again, welcome to CP. I can't wait to hear what you paid foryour Rolex with Hurly Haywood's name engraved on the back...
