Wagyu beef

Wagyu beef is considered the holy grail of meat. It comes from specific beef cattle – Japanese Black, Japanese Brown, Japanese Polled, and Japanese Shorthorn only – that are fed a special diet and raised under very special conditions for their meat to be as tender and juicy as possible. True Wagyu comes from a handful of areas in Japan, and it can cost anywhere between $1,200 and $3,000.
