I wonder if the word "Authetnic" is why it is so High priced. Costco rarely misspells things :)

I just put a 14 pound $134 dollar ribeye in a UMAI bag for a 32 day ride and that scares the hell out of me.  This is crazy!

I read somewhere where it's illegal to ship Wagu out of Japan.  That is perhaps the prettiest steak I've ever seen.  Costco also has $3000/bottle wine.   Dee

Take a look at the Greg Norman wagyu line of meats.  Not cheep by any means, but not $136.37 /lb either.  They look very similar in the marbling.

Now, THAT would be a nice retirement gift...

lemme go get Deb and show her so she'll order the right one.  I figger if we get a 10 lb slab, we can trim it to 8 oz each and have a pretty good number of meals off that.

Just sayin'...

I have extracted my cranium from rectal defile and will correct my statement.  It is Kobe beef that cannot be shipped out of Japan.  Wagu is the "knockoff" (for lack of a better term).  My previous statement was made due to a lack of my eyes to see from the location of my head inserted in the rectal canal.  I will try to limit those insertions and posts when in that location as much as possible.  Dee

The Kobe beef comes from a special breed only available in Japan. It is not allowed to even leave Japan.

The Waygu beef we get comes from a "distant cousin of that breed". Basically a hybrid of our best cow and one related to their cow.

I have to agree - our son took us to Craft Steak in Vegas - had Kobe which was good, but not worth the $ he dropped on that dinner

I have ate there too. We had the Kobe(hybrid) beef and it was really good. And we dropped a bunch of cash at that place. I must of had at least 8 Chimay's ???

Did you try their mushroom appetizer? I have never seen so many different mushrooms before in my life!
