Exceptional meat of incomparable quality, tender, melt-in-the-mouth, tasty, unique... there are many words to describe Wagyu beef. Native to Japan, this beef is raised in the traditional way: breeders take good care of their animals, feeding them a diet rich in grains and massaging them regularly to improve their quality of life.
Considered one of the most expensive and exclusive meats in the world due to its exceptional quality, wagyu is marbled with fat, making it incredibly tender and juicy, with a deep, rich flavor. And like any other beef, Wagyu can be enjoyed in a multitude of ways.
Tartar, braised, barbecued, sando or in burger form, the combinations are numerous and allow you to appreciate, each in their own way, the different cuts of Wagyu beef. But there's nothing like meat in its simplest form to appreciate all its qualities.
If you're not planning a trip to the Land of the Rising Sun any time soon, but would still like to enjoy an unforgettable culinary experience, check out our top addresses in Paris where you can enjoy Wagyu beef just like in Japan.
