It is fair to say that Wagyu beef is having a moment. Since exploding onto the UK food scene several years ago, it has become the go-to meat for high-end restaurants looking to offer that extra-special dining experience. Yet its exclusivity also comes at a price, prompting some to ask whether it is actually worth it.

Taking its name from ‘wa’ meaning Japanese and ‘gyu’, the word for cow, Wagyu has established a reputation for being the best beef in the world due to its superb marbling which gives it a succulent melt-in-your-mouth taste and velvety, buttery texture.
