Don Wagyu, the first restaurant in New York devoted solely to Wagyu beef sandwiches, is located on South William Street in Manhattan's Financial District, a five-minute walk from the New York Stock Exchange. When it opens on June 27, there will be three sandwiches (or sandos) on offer in the 1,000-square-foot space. Each is made from a different prized wagyu beef. The cheapest, made from a hybrid of Japanese and American cows, Washugyu, will cost about $25. On the other end of the spectrum is the A5 Ozaki, all sourced from a single farm in Japan. That sandwich will cost around $185.
Details: This Wagyu beef comes from a family farm Feldman discovered in the Miyazaki Prefecture. It ships only five cattle to the U.S. each month, all to Don Wagyu. The only other place to find the beef outside Japan is Dubai.
Appearance: There's so much marbled fat integrated into this beef that it's pink. It's served in a wooden box emblazoned with the Don Wagyu logo. (You get to keep the box.)
Taste: Best of all worlds: The meat is simultaneously fatty, with a melting tenderness, but it doesn't just dissolve in your mouth—it has enough texture to chew. Apart from being beefy, it's also notably juicy and aromatic; you get its scent as you pick it up. The fried coating and rich bread hold on to the steak. It's an investment-worthy experience.
Price: About $185 dollars.
