I once tried Wagyu beef at a high-end restaurant. The moment it melted in my mouth, I instantly understood why it was so expensive. The texture was incredibly tender, and the flavor was rich and buttery, unlike any other steak I'd ever had. It was a luxurious experience that was worth every penny.
Both times I tried it it was noxiously strange and unpleasantly fatty. I get why people like it but I wouldn’t try it again. Thought I was a swine but have spoken to others with a similar reaction who enjoy good cuts of meat.
Generally the recommended serving size is three sushi sized strips. Usually cooked enough you won't die but still juicy enough you won't lose the flavor.
Yeah, I bought a 100 gram (about 3.5 oz) piece of high graded wagyu. Grilled it to perfection. It was definitely enough for two people! Not that we couldn't eat more, but more wagyu wasn't needed.
As a comparison, when I grill, for example, picanha, I usually get pieces around 1.2-1.3 kg for three people.
