    3kg - $295

    lol….

    • +1

      i have never see it this cheap, must hurry.

      • it's only an ok price, especially when you consider you have to buy 3kg of it. It's tempting but no need to 'hurry'

        • +2

          no i really got to hurry, it will go out of stock in next minute or so.

          • @sammyla: It actually didn't take long..

            • +5

              @iDroid: I was being sarcastic but, no personally I agree its a great type of meat, it does taste good but too much hype over it. I could still enjoy a nicely cooked scotch fillet as much. watch it now I'm going to get negged hahaha

              • @sammyla: Indeed - I was just noting that it didn't take long to be "out-of-stock". At that price and needing to get 3Kg expected it'd take a lot longer!

                • @iDroid: who knows possibly a marketing trick to "make it go OOS". we just don't know how many bought what haha

      If that's what makes you feel better about not having the disposable income required to experience quality like this.

        Not sure I'm going to be taking consumer advice from someone that refers to their income as disposable

        Maybe for my birthday I'll grab this and have it with a Bin 389. Any other week I'm happy with a 200g eye fillet from Woolies in my cast iron

          Nah goto Costco and get their meat.

          Their beef tenderloin is ~$60/kg works out around $12-$15/steak and infinitely better, it's like a $60-80 restaurant steak (we eat it weekly instead of takeaway).

          Them on your birthday get some of their $80/kg stuff and since you dont need to buy 3kgs, you can get 2 bottles of wine ;-)

          he's not referring to his income as disposable, he's referring to his disposable income. It's a technical term, it means income after taxes. Technically I think he's referring to discretionary income though.

          • +1

            @Aequitas: You're right.

            So in fact my issue is with the aetiology of disposable income as a term that has stuck in personal finance. It's never been more of a problem then now when a majority are laden with consumer debt and high lifestyle creep.

            • +4

              @muwu: If you're going to be picky with terminology you should probably get your 'then's and 'than's right.

              • -2

                @Schmiddler: I'd say a typo (or at worse, a grammatical error) is more picky than (😰) taking issue with meaning and intent… but I take your point 😂

                • @muwu: No harm, no foul. Just had to tease!

                  Also, worst* ;)

                  For what it's worth, I kind of agree that the terminology isn't necessarily the best unless people understand the meaning. But that applies to a lot of professional jargon.

                  • @Schmiddler: I've been trying to get in the habit of re-reading emails and messages before I send… there are always typos or grammatical errors 😔

        • You're still disposing of your income, whether it's all the time or treating yourself on your birthday.

          • @magic8ballgag: Can't say I've ever made a purchase that I've considered as disposing of cash.

            I meet my living costs with products that represent value, otherwise everything else goes into investments with the aim of growing passive income and capital growth.

            • @muwu: Perhaps Dandaman21's comment was referring to a similar investment?

              • @magic8ballgag: Where's the passive income and capital growth in Wagyu beef?

                Or is it profit because he's reselling?

                Either way, his mention of disposable income led me to believe he was making a decision of consumption…

                • +1

                  @muwu: Jeez, you must be fun at parties.

                  Is it a okay to simply enjoy some bloody good beef without being judged or criticised?

                  • @magic8ballgag: I've got a mean cocktail game - I'm very fun at parties…

                    Yes, it's okay to enjoy high grade steak. If you share to others that you're eating $100/kg beef with your disposable income, you might attract some attention.

                    • @muwu: Do you nitpick everything people say, or do you restrict it to internet-only comments?

                      • @magic8ballgag: Not everything. Mostly the flagrant. In person and online… happy to meet up if you wanna discuss further, hit me in my DMs.

                        • +1

                          @muwu: Now I'm concerned for you, and for the others that must filter what they say when you're around in fear of judgement.

        • Why from Coles?

          It's so much better and cheaper to go to a good local butcher??

        • Well A. I wasn't giving any consumer advice, and B. you worry about your finances (or lack of) and I'll worry about mine. :)

          • @Dandaman21: What you were doing was dishing out a barb to another commenter by making an insinuation about their personal finances.

            You probably thought this was okay because that other commenter was jv and others would probably condone you, or worse pile on.

            I pay attention, but have never worried about, my personal finances. When I hear someone refer to a part of their income as disposable in a deal on $100/kg steak, I'm reflexively concerned for another.

            • @muwu: So referring to someone as a fool for buying good steak is fine, but responding with a barb is a problem? Lol. Save your concern for people who need it and want it. I'm off to see what else I can spend my DISPOSABLE income on. (I see someone has already explained to you what that means, so hopefully this time it's less triggering now that you understand).

      • +1

        Hmm some feel so special about having tasted this stuff, quite funny how some think ones personal choice and the way they spend depends on their disposable income. for anyone who has not tasted this stuff, don't feel you have missed out for a second, you can order this at most Japanese restaurants and you don't need to be rich to taste this haha. so no you don't need to be on a surgeons salary to eat this stuff.

      • +1

        I tried it last time there was a deal like this bought a few kg's and tbh I prefer a new york strip steak. There is literally minor difference between this stuff (if anything) and a regular decent cut imo.

        Just pissing money into the wind or you're some kind of flog who convinces yourself it's actually worth it.

          Wagyu literally just has more FAT.

          He aint far from the truth.

    • +4

      Absolutely. I've picked up similar grades and it's extremely noticeable. You also don't need a large serving as it's very rich. And, due to the high marbling it's harder to over-cook (you want it just on the rare side of medium to allow the fat to render). That said my comment would apply to actual MB9, sounds like there are questions around this suppliers quality.

    • -3

      Probably not much at this level. These are considered at the bottom of wagyu quality and maybe only a slight improvement over the standard aldi/coles meat. On the link below, the signature range on the far right is where it will give you an incredible experience. You can see the big difference is marbling.

      http://www.mayurastation.com/labels/

      The level of marbling on the steaks in the link is really quite mediocre. But in saying that, the price is pretty cheap.

      • +2

        lmao, "slight improvement over the standard aldi/coles meat". Why comment when you have no clue? There's a massive difference. I feel sorry for you for not having tried all sorts of wagyu.

        • +1

          oh come on don't feel sorry for people who have not tasted this stuff, feel sorry for the cows who get fed feed instead of grass to make them fatter to get the marbling effect on the meat. I have tasted this stuff here and when I was in Japan, no biggie really, yes its very smooth melts in your mouth blah blah,even thinly sliced scotch fillets taste good don't you think? feeling of eating expensive meat probably tricks the brain in to thinking wow this meat is out of this world.it isn't.

          • @sammyla: Wagyu cows get treated much better than regular cows, especially in japan, even getting massages. I guess that maybe wagyu wasn't for you, not every food is going to be everyones cup of tea. For instance I don't particular consider truffle to be anything special. It's definitely not a trick. I would still recommend everyone at least try it. Maybe like you, it won't be for them, but maybe like a lot of other people, they find it amazing and so much better than regular, like I do. I rarely buy regular beef steaks, just have wagyu (albeit less often, since its more expensive).

            • +1

              @Aequitas: I agree it might not be everyone's cup of tea. I had mine about 20 years ago in Kobe Japan where the place is famous for this kind of beef, it costed me A$110 for a steak in a restaurant. I honestly felt sick after eaten mine because of the fat and I never crave for trying it again, I much prefer the normal scotch fillet.

        • -1

          Aequitas, maybe you're the one that hasn't really tried all sorts? I had a company entertainment expense card card, and believe me, I have tried everything and every fine dining in Melbourne. I have also travelled to Japan to try the Matsutaka, the Kobe, and other variants, so take your ignorant comment and stuff it. Who's the inexperienced one eh?

          • +1

            @clubhonda: Agree so much to eat in Japan, I ate some oyster buns in Miyajima island - just about $5 AUD. omg the best. and if you go to Mount Koya(Koya san) do eat vegetarian Ramen on a cold day… its out of this world!!!!! Damn I miss Japan. food is so clean and yummy and even sweets are not loaded with sugar. anybody been on Philosophers path Kyoto would know the sweet shops there damn….

            • @sammyla: @sammyla We're clearly on the same minds here! Many Australians have no idea how much of a food paradise Japan is, and how high the culinary standard is. Japanese people respect and will pay for food on a level that most Australians have no idea about, and you get some clowns here making stupid comments. And within Australia, most of us will never get to enjoy the best cuts or the best products, because they'll all get shipped overseas to countries where they respect, and will pay the right price for it. Our best lobsters, abalone, produce etc, most Australians will never pay the same prices that Americans, Japanese or HK, or Singaporeans etc will pay for them.

              Damn, I miss Japan's food. Even their 30 cents karaage at a kombini tastes awesome! Kyoto had some really awesome eats too. Osaka is also great for food I find.

          • @clubhonda: Ye sorry but I'm not gonna believe you. You say you've tried all sorts of fine dining and then think aldi steaks are just about the same? get real mate. You've clearly never had any wagyu at all. Your logic doesn't even make sense. Why would you spend so much money all over the place when you think aldi is just as good? Just get the aldi steaks and save some money.

            • -1

              @Aequitas: @Aequitas I don't think you get what I mean at all, which really is sad if you think this is a big leap over an Aldi cut. If you've read what I've written carefully, you'll see that I'm clearly not impressed with either. Within Australia, I will only consider a Mayura signature product as "good". If you think this is so much better than the average steak cut, I feel sorry for you. So no, I odn't eat a lot of Aldi steaks, or this sort of steak normally. I'm very fussy as an eater, and just like once you've had proper sushi, you don't eat conveyor belt China operator-owner sushis (which taste nothing like proper sushi), I'm saying this is ok, but not that great.

          • @clubhonda: Yeah calling bs on your claims mate. And even if it's true, just because you went to expensive restaurants for steak doesn't automatically make you an expert on it. I work as a head chef and can tell you the cuts from this deal are already far better than supermarket cuts. If you can't even tell them apart, further proves you know nothing about steaks.

            Also if you truly know about good steak you wouldn't bother bragging about going to Japan, because Australia already has the title for best kobe and wagyu steak in the world. Only the clueless will bring up Japan when it comes to talk about good steak.

            Don't pretend to be an expert just because you got to splurge on it once, you sound like a clown mate.

            • @Erkel: You have no way of verifying what each of you do as a day job, so we dont know if you are a chef either. this is an online forum, regardless of that persons claim of having eaten this stuff and much more, I believe his point is there is a lot more than wagyu to eat, and there is, you would know if you have been to Asia(Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and especially Japan) also about your claim about Australia having best wagyu steak in the world, please provide the source? we do have some of the best beef in the world yes I know this as I have past experience with a major retailer that exports most of their production to Taiwan/US/China/S Korea .would be very interesting to see where you got that best wagyu is Australian from. I don't mind being wrong but please do share your source as I'm a bit intrigued. also don't think everyone here comes to BS and pretend to have been traveled and eaten stuff, very unwise to think so. also its very immoral to mock people because they have not eaten certain kind of food, if anything be happy that you get a bellyful as there is people starving in other parts of the world. no one is special or become an expert just because they ate Wagyu. I have eaten it, do I think its the best in the world? not really. would i eat again? yeah why not. but I never mock or make fun of a person who hasn't, its quite low/childish to do so.

            • -1

              @Erkel: @Erkel I'm not doubting that you're a head chef. I know nothing about cooking, BUT, I've had a very very fussy palate since young, and we've never been stingy on paying for good food in my family so I can tell you that I don't think this steak quality is considered great.

              But I doubt that you're a great chef, because if you are, you would greatly respect Japanese steak, because they are considered some of the best IN THE WORLD, not by me, but by many experts. And I agree, not because I care about what experts say, but because when I taste them, they are very, very good, and better than Australian standards. I personally think the Mayura Station cuts are already the best in Australia, but even they are not as good as some of the award winning cuts in Japan. IF you think there's a better product in Australia, by all means state it here. I'm happy to stand corrected. In fact, I'll happily buy a ton of it.

    • Recently bought some high end local black Angus, my wife hated it. Be surprised how different beef can taste

    • +1

      I assume you can only taste the difference if you eat them rare, and not when you have them well done?

      • no, there's less of a difference the more rare it is. Most people tend to prefer their wagyu (slightly) more done than regular beef. If you're someone who prefers medium-well or well-done, I think wagyu is a must, as it will still be tender and juicy

    • +11

      Dumb comment. In the world of steaks, the higher the marbling, the more exquisite the taste. You have no idea what you're talking about!

          Wagyu beef contains a higher percentage of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and more monounsaturated fats than other beef.

          • +2

            @Stefce: I think this is a whole subject of its own, but the increased marbling also increases its calorie and fat content. Lets not get too technical about this, just leave this as personal's.

          • @Stefce: I think he's commenting more generally on the health impact of high saturated fat foods like most red meats (rather than this high grade steak, specifically).

            As long as people are keeping this type of consumption to <200g once or twice a week, the long-term impact on cardiovascular health is minimal.

        • The better the taste

          That's very highly subjective; what if someone thinks a fruit or a vege tastes nice? They aren't necessarily bad for your body, unless you eat too much of it.

        • Naa, think fat.

          It's good for your body!

        • Worry more about the lack of exercise and general food intake mate. No one eats steak 3 meals a day. Some of us workout too. For those that keep fit and are very fit, no need to calorie count or worry about fats. If you are overweight, you'd do better to get off one's ass and workout rather than just focus on the food intake. Lack of exercise is what kills in a very, very slow way.

    Wtf at RRP

    While $100/kg for MBS 8-9 Aus Wagyu is slightly cheaper (it's around $100-$120 depending on the brand), you do need to commit to 3kg

    That $800 RRP looks right only if it's imported from Japan..
