The $185 Wagyu Steak Sandwich
- Thread starter Saya
- Start date
I can understand that, but this isn't like chewy fat or anything.
That sandwich, even though the cut is so thick, its going to be ridiculously tender.
For a place about to launch they're somewhat ghost-like online. The website's not set up, no Twitter account. Just a few pics on Instagram. Nice logo, but it seems a bit odd in this day and age.
Fatty strips are the best.
So much more flavourful, specially when the exterior is well browned.
Give me all that Maillard chemistry.

Wagyu is just a subset of cow breeds in Japan.
Kobe, Matsusaka, ect is the just the region the cow is from. What we know as kobe beef is wagyu.
Like Angus, there's a huge range of quality with each cow. (say like USDA select vs USDA Prime)
High end quality Japanese wagyu taste nothing like say an American or Australian steak. Its so much richer and more flavorful, the texture is different too. Its like comparing a pork chop and bacon. I tried to eat a 250 gram (like half a pound) Kobe beef steak in Japan and I felt sick after it while I could polish a 24oz dry age prime porterhouse steak back in the states easy.
Most of the international Wagyu are cross bred with our local cows which make the meat a lot less fatty but more fatty than our local breeds. True Japanese Wagyu steak is extremely hard to get in the US.

They call this dish Gyukatsusando.
Damn, I'm legit grossed out looking at this image.
Mmmm... I'm kind of with TTT. It's cool, but the way the beef bumps and ripples out of the cow shape with hints of red is a bit off-putting. Plus it's waaaaaay too much. I'd be sick before I got through all that.
i think i'd get sick by putting down $3k on a plate of food before it arrived at my table personally lol
Los angeles California.
But i work for a private club that caters to Caltech staff/students JPL and NASA. however ive sold and made kobe burgers on previous job in a brunch/bar and grill for a similar price.
the tipping is done differently
you get to tip over the cow they'll use for the next sandwich
It's just cold(er) weather cows, that why you can get the higher fat content, if you like it that's fine, but this is not something that is remotely unique to Japanese breeds (have you ever had highland beef?) and those type of cuts are readily available for very reasonable prices, at least in the US and Europe.
Personally, I'm a bit indifferent, not in the sense that I don't like beef or that I don't think there's a difference between breeds, cuts or just general quality (however you want to define ti) of the animal, but in the sense that I had sensational beef made of pretty much every style you can think of. And for what it's worth, I had way more of them in Texas than Japan (though obviously, that's both anecdotal and subjective, though I can't lie, I feel like I can win a drunk bar argument about who has the better beef fairly easily).
No, it's not that at all. Unless you've had actual non-hybrid A5 Japanese wagyu, it's hard to comment on it. It's so different to regular beef. Even Prime.
Look at ccbfan 's post: https://www.resetera.com/posts/9730471/
People are being sent to die in a desert by the thousands and beef sandwiches are being sold for $185. I learned both these things within 24 hours.
Sometimes the knowledge of the internet is too steep. Ugh.

Corny instagram bait. Some of the sandwiches from Shima looked ok tho
lol definitely not
Have you had this on a plate next to another extremely fine cut of steak? There's a restaurant here that does it and I had
Irish black angus
New Zealand Hereford
Angus de Argentina
Wagyu beef (grade 7+)
All of them are amazing, but wagyu is absolutely and wildly different than the rest. You could do some kind of Pepsi challenge with the rest, but I think almost anyone would identify the wagyu in that contest. It's ridiculously soft, like you can cut it with your tongue
I used to go to Japan for work for like months of the year and I traveled a whole lot of it, my taste might be different than yours, but it's not based on ignorance.
At that price it better come with a hooker and some blow. :p

I need to go to Shima, also dude japanese convience store sandwiches are next level. I can't get enough of the egg salad sando!
Some are pretty good but the katsu sandwiches at 7/11 don't really look like the ones in the OP lol.
