Price:: 69.99/kg
Retailer:: Costco

I haven't seen fresh Wagyu at Costco before but hopefully a good deal.
Prime Rib =$69.99/kg
Strip Loin = $74.99/Kg

EDIT: Went to Costco today and the Rib steak price went up to $79.99 from $69.99. But I think it is now boneless.

It has a WAGYU Marble Score +5. But to me doesn't look that much better than AAA Angus.
But I've never bought Wagyu before.

This was 400/7 Vaughan location.

Wow, that's some good looking meat. Never seen Costco sell it instore either, interesting.

Please don't ask or beg for "thanks". Don't act like this is Facebook. If someone found your post helpful, let them decide if they want to make that click. The more you beg, the less you'll get. Cheers

after having tried A5 Waygu, my taste buds have been forever spoiled.

I wouldn't even give it to my cat. I throw it to my neighbours lawn to get all the racoons to live in his garage instead.

That's dirt cheap for Wagyu! Anyone know if other locations have this? Might want to pick some up tonight since I don't like their AAA and they don't have Canadian Prime anymore.

This is using MBS and not the usual "A" scoring system. MBS goes up to 9 or 10, while A goes up to 5. Generally speaking, MBS 9 or 10 is A 5, sort of. Generally speaking also, Australian or American wagyu uses MBS to score, Japanese use A to score. So you could kind of say this is A3 kind of fat.

I tried this stuff a few months ago.
It's good but I wouldn't buy it again.
I gave away the last two steaks that I cut.
Just too greasy for my liking.

I will take Kobe beef. I thought I saw Costco was selling Kobe beef a couple years ago. Not sure what is the difference between the 2.

I’ve bought this from Kingsway before at Loblaws. While it isn’t the Japanese Wagyu that will make you knees buckle looking at it, it’s pretty darn good!

It is better than any other piece of meat you can buy at a store locally. Rub with salt and pepper and a good Olive Oil...let it sit in your fridge for 24-36 hours uncovered to draw out any liquid.

Good to go!

I find it funny that they naming this "Wagyu" when it is not "Japanese Beef" based on the translation

but it looks great, just don't have the luxury now lol

I remember seeing it at Loblaws a long time ago, but it was something like $150/kg. I'm so excited to get it at the Costco price!

while it isn't official Japanese Waygu, Snake river farms in the US, AACo in aus, both make great Waygu steaks that don't come with the Shimane prefecture region prices.
